NACA pic

The NACA duct just out of the mould and trimmed up ready to be bonded in.  I suppose that you could even bond it in with silicone but I will most likely glass it in place or use a higher strength adhesive.

  1. When I look at the NACA duct the first thing that comes to mind is what do you do when it rains? I figure you already have a solution. I'm just curious as to what it is.

  2. That was my thought too Duane. The NACA duct lets air and rain in indiscriminately. The German producer says that they have a drain for the rainwater. I'm not sure if that will do the trick, it would be nice if it did.
    My solution for ventilation under the hood is a hole at the front with a lightweight aluminium hose to the face. It's heavier than a NACA duct, but no rainwater comes in since the hose is going up and gravity makes the water flow out again.
