I've got an aftermarket front cooler that currently vents up through the hood. I want to change it to a more discreet set up to get past vintage tech.
Does anyone have access to photos of how the original GT's were done? I understand they blew out the bottom of the front trunk area through a louvered panel that created vacuum when in motion. I do have access to sheetmetal working equipment to build the shroud around the cooler. Cutting louvers is a bit of a different story - would prefer to buy that panel, but making it is not out of the question. I recall a segment of "Binky" where they punched louvers. Will never show so doesn't have to be pretty. My alternative is to fab a box with round vents ducted into the wheel wells. Thx. |

I have a front hood oil cooler on my street car
It used to be a PCA race car back in the time that this car was. I used to race against this car. I'm also an Eligibility technician for rocky mountain vintage racing I have been for over 10 years, and I'm the only Porsche tech on eligibility for our club. We wouldn't allow it We wouldn't come after you for your floor cooler or fender cooler because those don't show from the outside but anything that does show from the outside would be scrutinized that's how our vintage club handles it and it is more forgiving than SCCA by far. brant |
