Sagaris centre section bonnet !

[yoshizou]

Hi guys
Please let me know is there a centre section bonnet of Sag some variation and specifications ?

[alex_gray255]

There is some variation in the - yes.

The earlier ones had fixed central vent cutouts. The later ones had some movement.

There may be other variants, but that's one I know of.

Thanks Alex

Which centrel vent is effective for the anti-overheating of water temperature ?

Should I upgrado to later ones ??

You shouldn't be overheating, the vents don't do that much. I'd look at something like fans nor working, or something blocking the bottom airflow of the radiator?

[alex_gray255]

And what temperature are you getting when you overheat?

[TVR_owner]

I suspect Yoshi is the victim of 30+ Degrees and 90% humidity.

[alex_gray255]

If he's in Japan, I'm not overly surprised.

When I go there, it always takes me a few days to adjust again and
Hiroshima is not that hot compared to some places.

Thanks guys !
Today's temperature in Osaka ,Japan at 35 degrees and humidity was 96%.
In midsummer, I will not drive the Sag, however , I'll keep the best measures.
Around late October temperature become the same as the UK would be able to drive !!


Everyone will hate the feeling of leaving the Sag of the far east Japan , but I have
6K and 12k services are willing to maintain the UK at international transport !!

Perhaps, feelings that love a Sagaris are the same as you !!
Thank you in the future

Regards
Yoshi

I was with another Sag in Tours, France last Monday 37 degree heat! Ok until we hit traffic and then i started to panic!!!
All was ok once we started to move again however we had to keep off the pedal so a Griff could keep cool....

What's this - Griff keep cool??? LOL My temperature gauge moved from 70 degrees to a 'massive' 72 degrees in true TVR fashion - that's why I was panicking!!! But all was well!

Uk I know but Flaps shut on high speed runs and flaps open in standing traffic.
The worst culprit is the Cats and manifold that regularly melts my engine mount.

If you need a spare service bonnet to experiment with it will not be cheap. Surface and Design have the moulds for the centre section and flaps though .They made me a new centre section plus flaps when I lost it on the motorway a while back.

Ask for a type 8 inspection bonnet. I'm in the middle of getting a quote for a replacement one for mine.

Hi Yoshi

The inspection bonnet is the inner bonnet - the small one

Ta!

[RedSpike66]

What's the Type 8 inspection bonnet Alex ?

[Don1]

Or you could do what I'm doing which is a one piece opening carbon-fibre bonnet...

[alex_gray255]

Red6 - Its what SD call the standard bonnet
Don1 - I decided to give that one a miss and go for the upgrade they are currently in the middle of developing

[Don1]

Hmmm.... Maybe a call or two is in order before final decisions!
