Bonnet vents

[cyderbelly]

Why are there se7en vents on the bonnet? six main vents on the engine area each having se7en vents then the heater vent having 5 vents? Why not se7en se7en?

Yes a softy se7en owner I have a heater (and a wife).

6 + 1 for the fresh air heater
6 for the recirculating heater
4 or 5 for, I think, the VX due to the proximity of cutout
1 or 2 for the 'Blade but backwards vents
Some have none for coolness.

My home-made bonnet has 180 louvres? Go figure

Oooooh, "louvres", get you.

You clearly have far too much time on your hands hehe.

Drive it more and remove the heater to save weight ;-)
