Hi Everyone,

I had a spare piece of aluminium sheet so made a valance that fitted to the cowl box, was the width between the over riders and curled beneath the radiator. There are no holes or mesh in it, just a piece of bent sheet.

Went for a test run keeping an eye on the temperature gauge and expecting overheating problems but surprisingly, to me at least, found the temp gauge a few degrees lower.

I can only assume a lower pressure is being created between the radiator and valance resulting in hot air being sucked out by the under car air draught.

Any views/comments would be appreciated.

Regards

Geof
