June 24, 201214 yr Hi.. just bought my first trials bike in over 20 years.. A 77 Cota 348 thats missing its airbox.. can anyone point me in the right direction to where I may locate one.. Thanks Pete..
June 25, 201214 yr Worth a try - http://www.inmotiontrials.com/ and if they cant help may be able to point you in the right direction.
July 1, 201214 yr I had problems here in Australia finding the airbox. Could not find one and ended up getting one of those foam pod ones and no problems in rain, dust, etc.
July 8, 201214 yr Hi, Ive got 2 349´s one is missing the airbox and I´ve fitted a universal foam thing. If you want to get one a chap in Germany has reproduction ones www.montesa.de (there a bit expensive for liking).
July 9, 201214 yr Author Hi, Ive got 2 349´s one is missing the airbox and I´ve fitted a universal foam thing. If you want to get one a chap in Germany has reproduction ones www.montesa.de (there a bit expensive for liking). what I'm going to do.. get a block of PVC foam , shape it to fit in the frame air box shape then fiber glass it leaveing the top open... the dig the form out leaving a fiber glass air box. bit of filler , sanding , black paint & it will look like it was ment to be there..
August 10, 201214 yr The airbox isnt a common part to fail. There seem to be a number of bikes being broken. My advice if you have time is to set up a search for montesa parts on Ebay. Even consider looking for bikes being broken on Ebay and asking the seller privatly if he has an airbox left over. Airboxes do come up now and again and rarely are bid on unless in 'new' condition. I would be interested though to hear if there are any pitfals to using a simple foam filter. The airbox is a pain when it comes to removing the carb for clenaing, removal of the exhaust system. It would be easier to not use one. there is one on ebay today. Edited August 16, 201214 yr by bigshineybike
