Help,advice please. Despite my best efforts my engine bay is still getting too hot, I am thinking of a fake filler cap to act as a chimney, possibly vented to stay in place or removable when racing, I had also thought of fitting a 12V computer fan on the underside to shift air out. The idea would be to switch fan on when static & off when moving.
Any comments Ideas appreciated.
Cheers Nick
My Bugatti uses a computer fan under a fake fuel filler hole. It’s assisting the natural rise of the hot air. I got the idea from Geoff May who used them on his real Austin 7 I think.
The various metal plates around these engines are important to keep the blown air passing through the fins. They look naff and often get removed.
