I am using a K&N filter mounted in front of the radiator behind the grille
and mounting the hose on the rectangular end of the cold air box like the
factory did. So if I'm not using the DW adapter things should fit? I have
bent the shroud support probably a bit more than the factory did and made a
new shroud bracket to fit. What do you think?

with the rest of the M paraphernalia). I believe they are 1/8" thick.
The cold air box required a 'special' (bent) shroud support bracket on the
left side (it's one of the ways to identify a factory M). We're using a
rigid, cold air duct-style tube for the inlet, with a DW adapter and K&N
filter, and there's precious little clearance between the adapter/tube and the
bracket. I don't think even a 1/8" spacer would fit.

I am fitting up a pair of H-6s /Le Mans
carbs. You are talking about the
clamps on the throttle shaft hitting
the bolt head that holds the heat shield
to the exhaust header? My
engine is out of the car and so I can't see any
possible clearance
problems that might come up with the cold air box. I was
thinking of
cutting down some spacer blocks to 1/8-1/4" just to give some
insulation
between carb and manifold and to add clearance for the throttle
shaft.
What kind of problems will I run into with fitting the cold air box?
I am also adding a small heat shield between the manifold and the float
bowl of the left hand carb.
