Modifcations- Radiator Louvers & screen for engine door opening.

Yahoo Message Number: 16484
Louvers have replaced the flat radiator cover, not nearly as big as the test coach louvers, but they should work better than the original flat cover. A picuture has been added to the CC test album.
Two new pictures were added to the photo area under engine door support arms. A screen has been constucted using pet screening material that keeps the engine compartment safely screened off when the door is opened. Quick release pins have been used to attached the arms and the upper screen support. A double thickness of 22 gage steel supports the lower part of the screen and acts like a spring.
It gives way if the door is closed so the engine door will lock in place. It attacheds to the frame below. Cut outs were made in the underside of the door so the upper pins don't interfer with closing.
The screen can be removed to check oil etc. in less than a minute. It then is re-inserted in less than a minute. This feature dropped my engine temperature 20 degrees on our last trip. No experience on the louvers yet. John
