Hi, im in the middle of fitting a full Sebring body kit and was wondering if it would be worth while using the holes in the middle of the front valence ( not the brake duct ones)
I was going to make a duct to push the air up into the space before the radiator hoping to get a little more cooling in there?
Worth while or not?
Tom

Tom,

Seems like a lot of work for no gain. If you want better cooling then seal the area around the radiator so that all the air coming in the grill opening goes through the radiator core. The opening is more than enough to provide all the air the cooling system needs.

You might talk to Rocket Ralphie on the forum, as he owns, restored, and races the Sebring MGB-GT LBL591E.
