We are looking at he top of the cooler and it's shroud. Notice where the fins start on the radiator.



There is nothing to be gained by trying to cool the radiator support and it only increases the angle which is not what we want. The lower chamber cannot be clean. All we can do is try to minimize the angles as much as possible as well as minimize the volume.

Here is the floor for the lower chamber. It mounts above the rad support closing that region as a dead air space. The angle is to steep for the air to stay attached.



This is a riser which we do not plan to use, but I hope you can see where we are headed. A roof goes on top of the riser angled down at 8 degrees towards the radiator. I want to use the 8 degrees to reduce the volume of the lower tract trusting the air will stay attached in the larger tract. The lower tract feeds seven rows of rad tubes.



Feed clean straight air thru the rad and not have high pressure turbulent air packing and trying to lift the front of the car.

The additional duct panels weigh .9 lb.
