Hi Donnie,

Here is my attempt at air scoops!

Image

I had tried to purchase some from a chap in the States but he was a let down, so I pinched an idea from The Samba and made my own............
..............from a cement mixing tub!

Image

Its not quite right but it works! Underneath that scoop is my oil cooler and oil temps never get over 85 'c.

Image

If you need any other info let me know. :ok

All the best, Mark.

I like that idea :ok

Does it create extra noticeable noise at motorway speeds?

Hey,

Nope, non that can be detected from the front anyway! And the kids don't moan......well not about that.

Seems to work well and it hasn't blown off yet! Even at excessive speed .( on a closed road circuit of course! )

Cheers, glad you like it, Mark.
