window scoops

Here is how I resolved the issue for my bug. I haven't tried it yet, but i believe it will work as the scoop are located in a high pressure area (front of rear fender) compare with side window mounting. Anyway I don't think it a big deal as the NACA duct has a foil effect trapping side moving air.

Hey Louis,
thats a really nice application. Good work. Im going similarly (design stage) with half of the scoop on the quarter panel and half on the fender in order to minimise alterations on the seat mounting. How strong is the seat bracket?

anyone ever come accross these ducts in steel? i really like the idea of having em in the rear pannels but not sure if it would crack. if not then some sort of swaging around the duct would prob be best.

hey I haven't seen Steel ones but I know that Remmele has CF
ones or maybe Carbonjoe can help.

i'm just worried that cutting a hole in rear quarter and glueing on plastic is not gonna last long before it cracks. thinking that a swaged edge on the steel would help. thou cant seam to find the tool at the mo

heyhey well I'm really sure that a set of CF scoops will not Crack is the guys at Remmele use them I'm sure they work, or if you really want steel ones get someone to fab them up.

I know that http://cdoc.com offers scoops in various materials , call them too because they offer a better selection than on the site.
