OK-OK!
Now my hand is healing nicely I am working out what to do with the heli-vents....

I can't fit in the usual bottom-front area, as it obscures my mirrors (mounted a-la-canam style but shortened! Silly me! but I like it!)

Soooo... has anyone fitted them in an alternative position?

Top front would have been good but concerned about the Perspex curvature in this area - saw someone mounted top rear, but that would not be very optimum for airflow...

Ideas on the back of a postage stamp please......biggrin

One-hand Keef!

They don't have to be in the corners as such.
I would choose lower edge as far forward as your mirror line of sight will allow.

I would advise to avoid top front - if you get any decent airflow it blows straight in your face - quite annoying, especially when the odd fly gets sucked in!

You don't have to fit them.

Try it first without them (assuming you have aircon).

I will probably wait until after IVA to do this. Yes- I do have aircon, but not charged yet...again thinking I would do this after IVA...

Noticed someone had cut a hinged-hatch on theirs - saw it in the gallery, but it was a track machine....

If you stick your hand out the window it will be obvious where the hot radiator exhaust goes: along the top of the fenders and it wraps around the cabin.

Make sure to do this prior to gluing in your side windows.
