Just intrested if anyone has used http://www.turbohoses.com/nobleparts.htm Tunnel Cooling Vents sytem?

[anotherdom]

Tunnel cooling mod very common. I'm not aware of anyone buying those vents though - you can get suitable flanges from any of the motorsport suppliers?

Just had mine done by Matt at Jetstream over the winter. A must have mod in my book. Cab is much cooler now and I no longer singe my arm on the handbrake.

How much did it cost you if you dont mind me asking?

[sunoco69]

I had a list of things done but I think it was about £85.

Kerridges did mine last year, think it was around the same money, albeit they were doing other stuff on the car at the same time.

Please disregard everything i just said. Having just chatted to Matt it appears I didnt get mine done.
I think it appears cooler as I have only driven it twice this year and it has been much colder days, this led me to think I had got the mod done, well that and old age.

Nurse, help me, I have fallen again!

I think you will find that I did say in an earlier post that "I aint to bright at the best of times"!

Working and sniffing fuel all these years may of fried a cell or two in the old noggin.

To be fair it issn't my fault. I asked for it to be done as part of a long list of jobs last October. I picked up the car last week and assumed it had been done. Matt doesnt remember me asking.
So the end result is that it hasnt been but I though it had, whilst Matt didnt do it he didnt know to do it and it is all my fault for not checking that he had done it.

Is that clear enough now. Where's my pills, I need to lay down.

You guys must have places like this in the UK:

Cut reasonably round holes in the existing panel, rivet on one or two of these flanges, and you're done!

Never quoted myself before, but flanges are available from motorsport suppliers - eg:

Check ID, available in 51, 63 & 76mm.
