Preparing the front air scoop and the oil cooler:
 First place the air scoop extension on the the cooling system and mark the scoop with the
holes for the exhaust clearance and the fuel pump cooling slots
 Make the holes and, when satisfied, use 3 rivets to secure the scoop extension.
 Then fit the self adhesive foam to the outside of the scoop to ensure an airtight fit when
the cowling is in place. This will direct the most air into the engine for cooling.
 Then seal the foam's open edge with black silicon.
 Also fit self adhesive foam around the outside of the oil cooler and seal it with black
silicon, as done with the air scoop.
