Sorry to post-crash, but Paul / Spadge - how much does an RS500 air intake go for, and do either of you have one?

On Ebay upwards of 50 quid but have seen them make over a ton!
Very hard to source but you may be lucky at a show perhaps?

Don't forget you have to cut the lug off the bottom of the block in order for the drop bracket to fit
