[QUOTE="iismet, post: 15388312, member: 15250"] We are finally getting the Cobra back on the track been screwing with the kit car but finally pulled it off the rack. I never got the top of the radiator completely boxed. In the last couple of years it has become quite apparent the hood latch is a major headache on the track so I decided to pull it and replace with pins. I closed off the top of the radiator with some .050 aluminum sheet. We formed an L shape and bolted it on using the existing latch hardware. The L shape is riveted to the block off plate. The block off plate seals above the radiator fins. No more leaking out the top. [ATTACH]71918.vB[/ATTACH] I was reading some old posts about the cars getting light with fully boxed systems. I believe Carlos left one of the panels out for high speed runs to vent pressure. I was wondering if any one had used block off plates for the inlets. Using Bernoulli we could calculate the 2 areas (radiator vs inlet) and then restrict the inlet area (drill holes in the blocking panels) to control the pressure at the face of the radiator. [/QUOTE]
