Venting Engine Bay

Hello,

 

i noticed that my grill under the front window is slowly disappearing in small bits. What has been left, is a rather large gap which I'm wondering why was this covered up? Seems it would block a lot of heat escaping.

 

so im wondering, surely a little grill to keep the leaves out would be all thats required? I'm figuring that its much safer than putting washers under the bonnet bolts which then put the bonnet just above the little 'catch' hooks which stop you from being beheaded... (read about that one some time ago...)

 

These bits (sorry haven't got a picture to better explain):

 

Is the cowling actually required (other than for cosmetics)

If you don't have cowl's there debris will eventually block up the drains and you will get water all down the back of the engine eventually rotting the firewall and causing all sorts of other problems.

 

Grab a 2nd hand one from Paul@swz and spray it up or a new one from Mike Feeney.
