I had an aborted mission to the scrappy the other day as no suitable scoops came to lightGot a nice one for the intercooler mod, but that's another story.........
So I got this fiberglass copy off fleabay
It's too wide for my job but easily trimmed, so here's the cut n shut bit.
Just measured what I wanted to end up with and mr angle grinder does his magic. Lay one piece over the other and copy the cut again, simples.
Then spin it over and temporarily tape it together with gaffa tape or whatever.
Cut some strips of glass mat and mix up some resin/hardner and slip slop job done. Takes as long as a cup of coffee
Then it's off with the tape and on with a bit of gelcoat filler to tidy the join.
Sand until smoooooth then some obligatory black rattle can
I then offered it up to the bum hole in the roofand marked where the bolts were to be drilled.
Then once roughly in place masked off the surrounding area. That's when the Tiger seal oozes out the sides I can finger it off ( oo er missus ?) to a nice smooth finish and THEN remove the tape leaving a nice finished edgein theory.............
Loads of goo round the scoop edge and on the bolt holes and stick it in place. tighten down the nuts so all the goo comes out the sides. Remove excess and then the tape. This is what I got so far
There is a hole at the back of the scoop so when driving in rain I'm hoping most of the water will go to the back and then out over the roof. Similarly there's another water drain gland at the low point in the engine bay. If it'll stop raining long enough I'll do pics of those too, enjoy
