Re: Engine Bay Vent Fitting
I've just submitted a reply to this and it's disappeared
Must have been put off by Malcolm's terrible pun....
Anyway, here goes again. I agree with your comments, Willie, because my own gut feeling is that the vents should face backwards and I've actually bought a pair of louvred aluminium panels from CBS which should look pretty good once they're painted but the problem is where to put them. I'm reluctant to cut holes unnecessarily but needs must, I suppose, and they look well placed either side of the landing pad affair on the back panel but it's double skinned there with stiffeners underneath so I'd rather not cut into it. The easiest place is actually on the single skinned landing pad itself but then it looks boy racerish. So, I'm now thinking about drilling a row of holes along the back lip of the pad so they will still face backwards but be more discrete. Decisions, decisions.
I read Pete Silcock's post with interest so that's something to consider but I'LL be doing the driving, thank you
