really needed to go forward probably 3" to match up with the original intercooler,but then it would have hanging over the edge of the bulge,will wait and see what its like once I purchase the cross country cooler.
heres the front bracket I made out of some 23 x 3 s/s

also had to modify the middle 2 "t" bolts in the scoop,they were a bit short,i cut off the old thread and tig'ed on 2 m6 x 25 s/s counter sunk cap screws

I like!

Looks neat mate, you done well!

Oh yeah that looks real neat mate!!! A job well done!

Makes a white Patrol look almost not half bad!!!!!! he he!!!

thanks for that,just need a spare $2000 now to buy the cross country cooler!!

Craps on a stock one.

Great job - it looks really neat.

Nice work, looks good, a big mouth scoop, but does not jump out and ruin the look of the car like some ive seen.

Good work mate....

Very nice job, looks original.

Best non factory scoop I've seen on a Patrol.
Post pics when you fit the new intercooler too, please.

Great job did you need to re glue any of the bonnet ribs

No mate,all good.

Fark that is very nice...Well DONE!!

Well done, looks like it should have come from the factory like that.

Bit of an update,the egt's were higher and rise faster than with the standard scoop,partly because there is an opening next to the cooler twice the size of the cooler???,so I've fitted some rubber matting under the scoop to hopefully direct all the air through the intercooler.went for a short drive and it's definitely better,still not perfect though

See if you can come up with some kind of aero Vane that will drag say 50% of the air going in to the front of the IC.
It will all want to go to the rear anyway, That's how my larger scoop works, meaning its suppose to work at a lower speed
say 60kph instead of 80kph like OE

It's telling me the listing is no longer available,what was it old mate ?
And statok I just rang around the local wrecking yards and found one that had one I think I payed about $220?

Good job
Looks great

Tassie.... Was a CC intercooler removed from a wreck..... Must of sold it... No its still listed... Ebay item number is 271307287992 search on that in ebay and you'll find it

Thanks for that mate,but it's for a 3 lt engine,doesn't look quite as big as the ultimate ones they do for a 4.2,but thanks for the thought,really appreciate it.

Ballbiter mate. Magic!
Col

just got a bit more info regarding the approx' location of where a cross country cooler will fit,about 520mm from the rear of the bonnet to the front of the cooler,so I may have to re position the scoop maybe??
