read this if you are fed up with exhaust fumes in cockpit
Discussion
I`ve come up with a simple idea that I believe solves the problems of exhaust gases getting into the cockpit when you open a window, if you would like to know more please click on the link here ...

BB has put this up on the griffith pages, and this is the only place you can get this modification, its a simple enough job that most people should be able to undertake, just download the templates, follow the instructions and make and fit them yourself, or get a handy mate to do it for you.
there is NO charge for this at all, all we ask is that if you are happy that they have made an imprtovement to your car, then click on the link provided on the griff pages, and make a worthwile donation to the Multiple Sclorosis society.
you may remember last year, Steve Wilson, aka Fatboychim drove from Lands End to
John O `Groats to raise money for this charity as his wonderful wife Claire unfortunately suffers from this condition, so please dig deep.
I have done about 200 miles with these scoops on my car, and I can now only smell fresh air when a window is opened, with a full decat AJP my eyes used to get very sore from the fumes being drawn through, so they work very well.

Over the years of ownership I thought the holes were TVR's solution to drain away water if it collected in the boot, are you saying the holes where originally intended to let air in to the cabin
The holes come up into a cavity of their own. if you were to fill the boot with water, then when it gets about 6 inches deep it will flow over the top of the cavity and then out of the holes, so I assume that they are there to let air in.
thanks for the tip Ant, I don`t get under many early cars
Bruce, the shape/size is as small as possible, just enough to cover the hole, and the front drops down by 40mm below the bodywork, as they are positioned just behind the wheels you would have to do something pretty serious to knock them off, like loose you rear wheels or snap a shock right off!
making them from something thin and soft like alluminium not only makes them easy to make, but if you did run over something pretty big laying in the road, then the scoop would take the impact, or be ripped off without damaging the firbre glass, hopefully
rather than having something super strong which would stay in place and cause the fibregalss to break or crack.
there is no noise whatsoever, just pleasant fresh air getting into the car, for example before setting off for TiTT4 I fitted the scoops, and washed the carpet inside the boot lid, which stank of exhaust fumes.
after 200 miles the carpet still smells of the shampoo used to wash it, so it must be working okay.

As the griffith pages has been down for a while, and the Chatsworth event is soon to be upon us I have decided to make up a batch of these scoops and give them away to anyone who wants a set at Chatsworth, that way you don`t have the hassle of trying to make them yourself, you`ll just need to fit them by following the instructions which can be emailed to you.
all I ask is that you kindly make a donation to the charity via this link afterwards....

if you would like a set just put your name down on this thread, and you can collect them from me at Chatsworth.

Hi, cant make Chatsworth - but would love a set............
I can only make some of these for collection at Chatsworth I`m afraid, do you know someone who is going who can collect on your behalf?if I start making these and posting them to people then I`ll start incurring costs on materials and postage and packaging ect ect, which then takes things away from the charity, as they are simple to make, then people can download the templates and make them themselves, I am just offering to make a few up for collection at Chatsworth as the griffith pages has been down for a while, which is where all the details for them can be found.
hopefully BB will have it sorted and online again soon.
