so I want to add some bonnet vents behind the aerocatches so I have sketched some options.

Doh should have numbered them.
lets say 1 top left
3 bottom left
4 top right
6 bottom right

cheers Pete

should have made the image bigger too.

Is that not infront of the aero catch?!?

Your car looks quite period so I would try and stick with something that is simple and a nod to period, ignore the fact it is near the catch to dictate its shape.

And for venting, the best vent is the biggest vent!

I'll let you guess how I voted...

Option 7

Austin Healey style Triangle vent

Thanks Guys looks like its aero style but I may make it the same size each end then put another aero at the front like adi but the other way around.
ADithorp how do you do the wire grill did you make your own form tool? If so have you still got it as I was going to make one.

cheers Pete

I ended up with 2 AeroCatches per side because the front corner didn't seem very secure. Not sure I'd do it that way again but prob just have some sort of locating pin at the front end.
If memory serves, I made a former by cutting out a hole the outline of the catch in MDF and a slightly smaller insert (pos' just trimmed down the bit I cut out) that I screwed to a flat piece, put the mesh between and squeezed the lot in the vice. Don't know if I still have it as I can't recall seeing it about. I used stainless woven mesh as it has a lot better airflow than expanded ally stuff. Sprayed it black and PU'd it to the inside
