New Game CMP Brain Teaser Trivia

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

I'd noted the rectangle vs trapezoid vents, and always wonder what civilian application they were drawn from. We probably should not be locked to the source being Ford or Chevy given the mix and match approach to the sources of other CMP parts.

Either type requires a fair amount of stamping and fabrication. So who can find the civilian version on a `30s vehicle.

Cheers Phil

Yes
The rectangular vent was used on Holden built trucks, (cars too?) so it was a standard die design for the vents.

Anyone care to have a stab at the supplementary one about percentages?
