    Raptor Dash

    Anyone have a raptor dash fitted to a defender with front vents ?
    I love my front vents , and don't want to lose their air flow .
    How much does the raptor dash block the flow of air ?

    I'd do a quick search around.... I know there are a couple threads with raptor pictures.

    It looks like the raptor dash goes from scuttle handle to scuttle handle; blocking most of it. But they are still usable.

    Ive looked into this. Apparently passenger airflow is relatively unaffected but driver airflow is almost entirely stopped.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I made my own with some alloy sheet and neoprene to cover it. I made a narrow version. Next version will be a DIN width and will relegate EGT gauges to a mini mud pod.

    I didn't notice much difference to airflow. I've got no aircon and have driven on a few 40c days and there is enough airflow through the drivers side vent to keep the breeze on your brow and the dust swirling nicely through the cabin
