I have a 1275 engine and want to use the standard mini air box.

What can i use to make the air intake go across the engine?

As the standard end goes down with a flexi pipe like in this pic

But the 1275 doesn't have that part to connect it to.

Is there a piece you can buy? I have seen them on minis before - sorry if this doesn't make much sense its hard to explain!
