Engine bay.

[Dod]

Seen it in Stus car and a few others, The panel seperating the Engine and the Battrey, not too sure what the technical name is, but its all been cut out apart form about 6 to 9 inches at the passenger side, Why?

[jamie gsi16v]

to let all the hot engine fumes out through the scuttle pannel and the 6-9 inches is left for the wiper motor to bolt to, its a good idea but your heaters become very hot and smelly!

[Riggy]

mainly done to increase airflow to twin carbs :lol:

i saw an auto grass nova that had this removed with a metro carb that was sitting just beneith the scuttle panel. as said, it seemed as if this was all down to air flow.

Yeh i have done this aswell. I did it mostly to make the bay look better and get lower underbonnet temps!! But the down side is that i have a oil catch tank that vents off into the engine bay lol!! So its rather smelly in the cabin.

I have used a feista wiper motor braket insted of curring up the nova one!!
