I replaced the prop rod with a pair of gas struts, partly because I had them with the hood before, and partly because I’m going to have to cut the prop rod hole out for the center vents. I ran out of reinforced cutting wheels, so further progress is either going to be painstakingly slow or I’m going to buy more wheels.
Did I miss something? Where are the test results discussed?
Without any testing, IMO, this is just mainly becomes a "Cosmetic" exercise.
I also would have suggested for this application a differential pressure gauge be used, to find the aero sweet spot faster, ie two tubes measuring inner and outer pressures at the same time, and conditions.
