Baffles at radiator intake

[Guest]

I read that a few guys have installed baffles ahead of the radiator to prevent the incoming air from bypassing the radiator by passing though the inner wing. It makes sense to do this and as my Stag is undergoing a full restoration now would be the time to do this.

Does anyone see any value in doing this and would anyone have any photos of their baffles.

Thanks

Sorry for the off-topic, but do you have any more pictures of that rotisserie and where and how it attaches to the body. It seems to pick up on the bumper outriggers, but there's a heck of a lot of weight when the car is fully fitted out. I'm toying with the idea for my stripped out shell.

Don't think I took any photos, I will have a search as I did this about 10years ago. You form a duct from the frontgrill to the radiator so that the air is directed to the radiator and not blowing round the inner wings.

I used 6mm thick clear perspex sheet, and cut them out after using cardboard to make a template.
