I'm doing a louvered bonnet on my BN1, as well as triangular vents in the f=
ront fenders. I have headers that are wrapped and a heat shield installed. =
Even in Northwest Florida, I'm not expecting an overheating problem. My BT7=
will run all day at 185 F in normal traffic. I don't have thermostats in a=
ny of my old British sports cars.=20
