Did you receive...
...the several pages of instructions, drawings, and figures?? There is not a lot of step-by-step help in there; it is left up to the builder work through the steps.
Also, a look ahead should be performed on the "FAB BYPASS VERTICAL" kit. This kit can be installed after the FAB is finished, but it would have been easier without the air box top plate already riveted to the fiberglass box.
The position of the top plate (1/16..or whatever) below the filter height allows the fiberglass box and top plate to compress the filter which forces a seal between the top and bottom of the filter. Thus, all the air goes through the filter and not squeak through any gaps.
