I made these out of the magnetic "vent / register" sheets that are sold in hardware stores.

These are to save the the trouble of picking the leaves out of the cowl vents when its street parked for long periods of time.

 

Nice work, and that's a great idea to use magnetic strips.

I have electrical-taped screen porch material over my cowl vents to keep the leaves out. Magnets would be a better solution!

 

a little "homemade" take of our smoothie ?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I actually LIKE the vents - there is a high pressure zone there and it pushes more air into the air intake.
But when parked....

The white is kind of stealth, so the kids wont steal em (not that they are worth much)

I take em off when i drive - tho - i COULD just store em on the hood

 

Slacker, I didn't realize you had a smooth cowling product til now. How does it allow air to come in for the cabin blower?

Could you make a kind that has a built-in cabin air filter??

 

I agree , , but it was not my original idea either , hot rod builders have been doing it to cars for a melena . I have only been building them for about 15 years

if you have ever stripped down a toy , you'll see there are lots of areas for air to enter the cowl area .. if you wanted a filter , that would be fairly easy , .. you would just put it between the intake of the blower and cowl .

In order to change the filters and stuff - I would modify the Blower Box rather than put the filter "in the cowl" where changing it would be a a real pain..

There's some pics of what is UNDER the cowl in my thread about mouse woe's
