Speed six airbox stopped fitting

[mrpenks]

I know this sounds crazy, but I recently swapped my starter motor and when putting back together the airbox won’t fit. It’s a speed six Cerbera.

I’ve tried everything - never had an issue in the past.

Last resort, does anyone know if there's some was the engine could drop over move to cause this. I’m flummoxed?!

You would have to specify where it suddenly no longer fits. Preferably with pictures.

Does the lower part no longer fit on the intake pipe to the vehicle floor (have you perhaps twisted it? It has a recess on one side to fit over the alternator) or is it the cover? Does it no longer fit on the intake manifold or on the lower part of the airbox?

Where exactly is it catching that prevents refitting?

If the engine mount on the offside has failed it can mean the engine tilts towards the offside which can make refitting the top of the airbox difficult.

Thanks guys. Front balance thing (plastic tray) wasn’t seat properly. Sorted now.
