Hi Patrick
I only fitted this last night. It took a lot of deliberation!!
The position is quite limited once you sit in and consider where your legs
go.
I'm hoping to get the port side fitted tonight........... fingers crossed.
Kind Regards
Steve Ivell

Hello everyone,
I've been following the vent discussion and I wanted to share my approach
to this. It's far from simple but it works really well. I put a standard
heat box on the firewall. On the instrument panel side I fabricated a
plenum with 4 outlets. Two were used for the windshield vents and the
other two feed some eyeball vents on the panel.
The air feed on the firewall side comes from where I have my turbo charger
intercooler air box so that is unique to my installation but finding a
place to pull high pressure clean air shouldn't be difficult.
Needless to say the result is really good but it is a far amount of work.
I do have some photos somewhere and if there is enough interest I'll post
them.
Paul

Subject: | NACA Vent profile |
Hi Everyone,
There was some discussion regarding NACA inlets during the "Vent"
discussion. I needed some NACA's but I could not find them in the size I
needed so I made mine.
It's a bit time consuming but once you have made the templates you can make
as many as you need. Unfortunately we generally only need a couple.
I don't recall the source of the attached spreadsheet but it does a nice
job of calculating the profile. From the profile I created two templates
for the depth and two for the sides out of aluminum. I then used the
templates to hot wire a foam core.
Once I had cut the core I covered it with heat shrink plastic and used it
as a plug for my layups. If you're lucky and the plug releases you end up
with a perfectly smooth surface and you can re-use it to make the second
one.
I'm sorry that I don't have any pictures of the process. They seemed to
have disappeared in the black hole called "hard drive"
A few other comments. The inlet ramp needs to be blemish free and a smooth
transition with no bumps. As others have mentioned they need to be
correctly aligned with the airflow and a smooth transition on the outlet
side to your hose.
I have oil streaked mine and the airflow is correct.
Paul

Bud: I may have missed it but did you address wind noise ? I have always been concerned
about "things" that project into high speed air.
Paul: Yes please, on the offer of photos.
