the baseplate of the airbox has a pretty irregular surface... i will have to try and rectify this somehow (by use of orbital sander and blocks with sandpaper). I also already figured out some mods. Putting the dome onto the baseplate is pretty hard as the screw holes are sunk into the baseplate. Luckily another hobby of mine presented a solution: guitar strap buttons!
they are funnel shaped and exactly the right size, i drilled out the hole a little bit and now they can act as a blind guide for the screw. Since i was in the process of misusing guitar parts i used the felt ring that one can find under the strap button and placed it under the washer of the screw which would press on the carbon fiber.... adding the felt ring stops the washer from sliding off all the time and may also help stop it from vibrating loose mid drive.
