Default Hot Days Cockpit Cooling

Just wondering if anyone has done anything to their Cobra (besides A/C) to try to make the cockpit a bit cooler during hot summer days. I imagine some sort of fan set up would work. Would love to see some pics!

Foot box duct work helps your feet cooler.



A bikini top helps keeps the sun off.



Extra heat shields/insulation in the cockpit.



HIH,

Pat

While not aesthetically gorgeous, the bikini top is in fact a functional option I am open to, however, how was this one on the picture attached to the windshield frame? I can have one done and rested against my rear wide roll bar. Please send out any info, would be appreciated.
Cheers
Lou

one of those cushion deals that go between the seat and your ass, lets your back and ass breath without offending everyone.
