Morris liked post by Bobcat On thread : Under Bonnet/Hood Heat Insulation

As Morris said , just open the rear of the hood . Did that on my ERA and even in traffic here with temps in the mid to upper 90`s now in SC , I see just under 180* cruising and 190 to 195* in traffic...

Gaz64 liked post by Bobcat On thread : Different richness left and right sides
