Bonnet Vent Orientation???
Hi guys,
Anyone any opinions on the orientation of these bonnet vents and which pic looks best before I cut some holes in the bonnet. I prefer 1 and 4.
Cheers,
Pat

I'd say 4, closely followed by 1. I think it looks best with the long flat side of the vent against the bonnet hump

Are they gonna be to let warm air out or cool air in? If it's warm air out go with 2 or 3. If it's cool air in go with 1 or 4.
Practicallity aside, I like 3.
A bit of slapstick never hurt anyone.

I'd put them on the sides actually.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Personally i will be looking into venting on the sides of my Avon. (if I ever get that far!)
However with those options i would go for 3. I think they look better 'thick end first'

My colleague at work has just had a look and he thinks 1....
He also pointed out that in 4 the vents are very close to the forward edge of the bonnet which could weaken the GRP considerably and you could end up
breaking bits off your bonnet....

i like number 4 . let me know how much difference it makes as mine seems to get very hot.i was thinking of side vents and possibly one in the front of
the bulge in the nose cone.i cant do similar to you as i have already weakened my bonnet with cut out for the carbs.

Cant you just move the vents in no. 4 back up the bonnet a bit, so that the front edge is in line with the vents in no. 1? this way, no.4 will be no
weaker than no.1
I reckon no. 4 looks best.

Saw Pats car yesterday and he has gone for either 1 or 4 - 4 I think but can't remember! Sure some of you will have seen it at Donnington today.
