Custom vented bonnet

i took the rubber weatherstrip off at the back of the bonnet, for extra ventilation when stationary and low speed.
but i find that the heater vents will still blow over a certain speed (even with the blower off) so there must be some sort of pressure increase at speed in the scuttle area ? how about some subtle wing vents chris :)

I have thought of such things frank. Break chillin. Okay I sham raise her. How did you do yours frank?
 
Just raise the back of your bonnet :) creates a low pressure which draws air though your existing grill :) no cutting or vents required. Even easier if your on bonnet pins :) (by that I mean no hinges etc just pins)

You tempt me you evil seamstress how must I go about this raising quest.

On a normal bonnet (K10s arent normal) you can simply unbolt your hinges put in a 1 inch block of wood and just use a 1 inch longer bolt :) easy as that.
If your on pins all round... just put a 1 inch sleeve on the rear 2 pins :) I used a mild steel one, coated with a hose pipe... just hose pipe worked well for a while :D
