I'm sure I can do the scoop and I'll look into the ducts. I'll e-mail you my address.

Thanks,

Talking

Oh I've always wanted... just not enough demand for "bus specific", to even consider asking. I think what I've got Joe looking at now, will produce some must have's for you guys though...

crap, more stuff for my 'to buy' list.

Panel, why did you make that little aluminium insert ? Is it for looks, or function ?

Function Rob, definately function. The NACAs wern't pulling enough air on their own to suit my need so I made those little "ears" to stick out and catch more air. They are as much as I could form with simple hand tools and a wooden buck before the aluminum started to tear. Turns out they are not enough and that's why I turned to Joe. Gonna get a lot more aggressive with the carbon pieces and solve this air problem once and for all....

Since I am planning on using the same ducts for my radiator.......


BTW panel, thanks for the research :agree:
