I have good fitting catches on my car. However, I am looking to fit rear extenders to help vent the underbonnet hot air. John Taylor was unable to supply as he was sorting something out with them so looking again. Anyone had any issues with extenders?
I installed the John Taylor extenders before the summer. Can't say I've been able to notice a difference in temps on my dodgy temperature gauge i.e. it still gets hot in traffic but Techniques told me they do help. And there have been no issues with the security of the cowlings.
I too have installed the JT extenders during this hot summer. I have noticed that the temperature gauge climbs more slowly than it did before when crawling in traffic but inevitably the fan still kicks in warm weather if stationary for any period.
It is important that the extension is fixed tightly in the hole that needs to be drilled for it in the retaining bracket. If not it perhaps could swivel and release the catch. As the lower edge of the bonnet flap will now be further from the middle rubber support by the wing I have replaced this with an old fashioned door stop which is of precisely the correct dimensions to fill the gap.
