Thread: Project bonnet scoop

I know some of you p38 guys do go off road and some dont or wont , I would tread carefully anyone that likes off road use with scoops that face rearward , As soon as you enter a bog hole or puddle any steam created under the bonnet from water and heat will come back towards the screen = loss of vision for said period of time not good in my opinion

This is still on my list to do. If it mucks with the airflow I'll just stick a choke on it and if that doesn't work, perhaps the addition of a small chimney so I can brew a cup of tea whilst "off road"

Thanks Rangieman. I reckon they need to be closable to avoid this. Or get out the gaffer tape before hitting the water!

Photo's of the one I refered to earlier.

BTW it sold in the UK last week for GBP2,150 (AUS$3,309.63).

That pod filter would go well when wading ;-)

The vent that interests me is the side vent, I would not install the bonnet vent but the side vent I would.

Yes, but fit a RH vent to the RH side rather than what he's done.
