Thanks Mark
Not easy to get it dead on as you say, and as I know your experience on your car, takes time and a lot of head scratching. But feels like victory every time a solution works 👍🏻

Hi Mark

Yes i will have some ducting from the rear of the radiator as well. Haven't quite decided on if I will attach it to the car or the hood yet. Have made a plug fore the mould to the hood all ready, so will see first how to make the ducting when the new hood is ready 👍🏻

Thinking it would be nice to mount the ducting to the hood, because of easy access to the front of the engine between the races.

The plugg

The space between the rad and the strut brackets.







Any ideas how to do it, would I be greatful fore Mark, or your plans

Not the red one, I know that too, a real beast. The white one is a Cosworth. Advert here in full:

Got a clear sight of the rear end, after the dolly was finished and I could turn the car around and away from the wall.

Must say I think it looks nice, and it will be easy r to fabricate the diffuser now and take it outside for some moulds to be made.





The final goal
