Available real estate's at a bit of a premium on those wings! A bonnet scoop perhaps? Haven't seen many of those on a sidescreen. Although it has been done. Grant and Fisk had a matching pair on their 3A during the '61 RAC Rally. Looked quite impressive. Motorsport Images has a few pictures of the car here, Motorsportimages.com. (About halfway down the page, car number 48 Reg 'XXL 407'). Deggers Think I’ll be rationalising the sticker space This year it was done originally to support the clubs 50th but 2020 was a bit of a year !!! so kept them on for 2021. 2019 was charity year for pancreatic cancer UK. In memory of dad. I went for bonnet louvres rather than scoop inlets. But there are a few scoop bonnets out there typically fibreglass. I have seen a headlight removed for an air intake. And I am sure I have seen ( did Peter share it ?) a headlight fitting that was set forward of the binical allowing air in all around ?! great set of black and white pics there thanks. I could move the wing roundels over the door a bit I suppose. your chief designer role is still safe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The intake vent could then sit nicely in the space just aft of the bulkhead sealer plate. From this . . . To this . . .

Drewmotty Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Looks great but is that a high pressure area that will let air in or will it extract? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hamish Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 On line design collaboration is great. I should know the 3a better but perhaps moving the side vent forward as you had previously. would be enough to conduit through to the engine bay ahead of the bulk head. and Deggers I’m not suggesting you waste any more time on it. I can’t see me cutting up my car to THAT extent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a creative way to spend some down time. Plus I like the back and forth of online design collabs. And hey, now I know how to keep my knees cool in the summer!
