I want to attempt the BFI3 using the eggcups for Ballistic Bellmouths, would anyone know if they can still be found in Woolworth's?
If not does anyone know of a place i can source them?
Thanks!

p.s. tried to post this in Modifications but could not

Thanks Daniel,
I know its a bit weird but i liked the look of the Bellmouths, i know i will be putting a cover on and not seeing them but because they are cheap i still would like to do it!
Pathetic, i know!

i purchased them at woolies yrs ago.
For an alternative, heat the end of some PVC (50mm/90mm)piping over a BBQ and push the end over a bottle/flagon. keep repeating and it will "bell out"

cut a hole in the front of the airbox to fit, cut to length, paint black and glue in.

i agree with you joseph, a bell housing of sorts is so much neater than a hole cut in the front of the airbox.


Give the pvc pipe a go, it is easy and looks great painted black.

I found sealing the area as per the BFI3 made no difference but the egg cup mod on its own gave a small improvement.
