Coupe Nose Scoops

[wedel456]

Can anyone provide some reference measurements (with pics would be great) on where you placed the optional coupe nose scoops (both the two on the cowl and the one on bonnet)? Also, how much lip did you leave on the front opening (again, pics would be awesome)?

Thanks,

Justin

Justin, I can help for the two scoops on the cowl. After fine edge trimming all around, I place them about 1/8 inch behind the edge and about 8-1/4 inches outboard from the centerline of the windshield wiper mount holes. The coupe's body isn't perfectly symmetric, so go more by your eye for good symmetry of placement. Below are a few photos that will help you with the placements on my coupe. I also added two photos showing basically how I routed the scoop cool air tubing (2-1/2" nominal) into the foot wells. On the passenger side, the heater/AC switch and wiper motor led me to route the air tubing down thru a nicely sized chassis frame triangular opening and into the foot box. For the driver's side, I didn't want the cool air hose to dump air and maybe moist air down onto the Wilwood actuators nor fuse box, so I routed the hose to the most forward corner of the footbox.

I hope this helps.

Thanks! That helps a lot. It looks like there is zero lip on the scoops (meaning it was cut all the way without any overhang)?

Yes, no overhang. Just as it looks. Besides the trim of the scoop edges that you like, just locate them to look good to the eye from various angles, there are no real dimension specs that I'm aware of.
