Q: Sam James cowl induction inlet connects to MK1 filter airbox how?

Q: Can you use Van's FAB with Sam James lower cowl with round inlet? Pictures please.
 
There are a number of different SJ airboxes for the lower cowl and round inlet.
The SJ folks had a one piece and a two-piece carb/FI adapter that bolted to the bottom with a K&N conical filter and housing that mates to the round inlet.
I don't know of anyone using Vans FAB with SJ cowl.
 
Not a direct answer to the question but you can do anything you want, it’s experimental. Here is what I did on my Acroduster….Sam James induction kit and a Vans lower cowl scoop. Still a work in progress but I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Dare to be different, there are _way_ too many RVs out there that are all the same. 🍻
