Hello all,
I installed a set of bonnet vents from a Rover 100 in the wings of
my '78 Midget.
She now runs MUCH cooler than before. No more roasting in the cockpit
secondary to heat radiating through the firewall/bulkhead.
It seems to have stopped the poor idling when hot, also.
I have an extra brand new set of vents, for the curious.
My 0.02,
-Vince
San Antonio, Texas
