Hi

One thing I will say about cooper, on the cooper 90 degree elbows that I used the rubber hoses really stuck to them, where as with the stainless or plastic fittings the hoses were easy to remove.

Racelook, according to Baja Wes Shema, the best place to put a scoop would be on the roof am i right? That's where the air travels the fastest...
Any thoughts on that. As anybody tried this route?

I have another question for you guys: almost everybody I see who put their rad up front don't have any kamei style spoiler.... Can you still fit a kamei AND have a radiator up front. The only one I saw with this set up is Jak Rizzo. BTW he's the god of GL!

I suppose that you wouldn't mind the work involved. As i said before "boxing" the rads inlet can improve air flow under the curvy beetle's front end. I believe that you could even benefit from using it. Actually have you seen a kamei spoiler with the oil cooler opening?

I'm doing the "boxing" think to the max. I'm going to have a lip (flat plane) that is below and in front of the nose. As air is forced down under the nose, it will hit the lip, which will then duct it into the radiator. I had this radiator custom made with a lip on the front and back of it to attach the ducts to. I hope it works!
