Yep, it would leak straight down onto all the belts and alternator as well as some electrics.
My Garage Vary bonnet has a rain rail which I bought separately for about $120. To make these rain proof I think I would need to make up some fibre glass pieces to take the rain away. This would of course decrease the cooling dramatically and kind of defeat the purpose.

You could stick it on your car and use as an everyday bonnet and it would probably be fine as long as it didn't p#ss down and you were parked outside all day.

I think it's more a sunny day thing, pretty much like a MX5 anyway.
Do this to your spare bonnet and change over when you need to. Only takes 10 mins to swap over by yourself.


Ah yep definitely! Planning on picking up a spare bonnet for some NC louvres; to be swapped in for track days

I am thinking about selling both cars now as none of them get the use they were built for.

23K ono will buy Snowie with everything and a perfect spare bonnet (silver).

I have a cad drawing of the vents and will Laser cut some within the next couple of weeks.
If they come out good I will get the template copied as well by a sign writer I know.


Richard, I'd be keen on a set.

Cheers,
Steve

Hi Richard, now that I'm on the road I'm looking to cut up my spare bonnet and vent it.

Are you still able to make the vents?

Look forward to catching up either way :)
