Well, the old ute starts to get a bit hot under the collar come summer…So much so that solenoids and all sorts of stuff goes a bit funny when im stuck in traffic on a hot day (With the aircon on)
So, ive decided I will try some bonnet vents and see how things go. I did some reading and basicly there seems to be a bit of a rule for vents…
If you want air to come out of the bonnet, put the vents at the front
If you want air to go into the bonnet, put the vents at the back.
Seems this all applies to air pressure, when your driving down the highway, the air hits the front over the front of the bonnet, leaving a low pressure are, so air gets ‘sucked’ out. The air then flows along the bonnet until it hits the wind screen, and then has a resonably sharp change in direction, giving a high pressure area at the back, so air is ‘pushed’ in.
Anyway, heres a couple pics of what im propoasing for the ute….any suggestions ?
(Note that becuase I want air drawn out, ive put them towards the front)
