Also if i may add. looking at the design of the engine bay, despite the huge duct on the front, the engine bay does not lend itself to good airflow ergo heat soak will be a bitch. what i would possibly consider is putting a spacer between the engine bay doors and the top cover so it can vent heat better. I will probably put a 12v fan in mine on the rear pannel or even the mesh grille to suck cold air in or even draw hot air out..... with a thermostat controlled switch on. if you go to a scrap yard and find a volvo 850 / V70 / S70 / S60 T5 they have excelent fans on with a massive turnover of airflow. i know this is not original but if its retro fitted and helps the carrier i say crack on.......
