Okay you guys,

The shroud design that I saw installed was angled back at the top and a sweet bit of metal work at that. Now the parachute effect was the problem they started with and although the angle would produce an apparent increase of the "ballooning" effect, there was a compensating channeling of the air underhood (bonnet) and if memory serves it was channeled to aid brake cooling as well. The underhood was not visible to me at the time so I can only remember the theory and hand gestures of the mechanic. There was no mention of a heating problem and again as I remember it, the air was moved through the underhood area even faster than before the modification.

I wasn't alone at this meeting so maybe someone may have a better discription of the arrangement. If not, I'll try to get more information from the shop.

Spanky.
