Bonnet Side Vent

Today I did one of the winter projects I had planed, fitting the side vent into the bonnet.
As this is a bit of a nail biting job I had to get it right first time no room what so ever for mistakes on this job!


The area where the vent is going to go is masked with masking tape and the vent marked out


With the bonnet removed from the car two pilot holes are drilled at each end of the marked area.

Then using a hole saw I cut the two end radius's-

before cutting the rest of the vent hole out with a pair of tin snips and then grinding the edges to shape, this was finished of with a hand file.




The vent trim and grill bolted in place.


The finished job. Should help get rid of some of the heat from the engine, specially in the summer time.
