Heat in cabin carb 308

I saw a louvered pan to replace the lower under body cover so I measured it up and took a ride over to home depot. It just so happens you can buy a hot air return grill that is just about the same size. So I painted it black and drilled a few holes in it and bolted it up. I did the whole thing for under $10.

 

Hi Sean,

Here is a photo of a louvered front lower cover made by our buddy "Gleggy" down under. Got one on my car.

Here is a link to an old thread with some of his stuff.

I have seen guys try to install a very thin aluminum vent made for house foundations, but they are way way to fragile.

Hopethis helps,
chris

1) Is your bonnet foam sound? It's function is to route air through the radiator and out without it getting into the pre-cabin area. When it deteriorates, air is allowed to circumvent the radiator, reducing it's efficacy, and to heat the area ahead of the dash and leak into the cabin.
2) Have you double checked that the heater valves completely turn off water flow to the heater cores?

I have both the the louvered plate and the foam under the bonet but I'm still getting heat inside the cabin. There's got to be a fix for this.

 

Buy a 328??...the GT4 cabin was like a furnace but the 328 is not as bad.Obviously the 328 has no roof so the heat escapes from there.

 

Considering that I'm in Canada...I relish the heat that comes into my car!

 

i've got the louvered panel, all under hood foam in perfect condition, have sealed all joints and passenger floor with dynamat insulation. it's still bloody hot on the passenger side. seems like the heater isn't shut off.there was a thread on the heater valve which targeted a small valve in the body of the heater valve. i think looking there is the next logical step.

 

It's really nice in the winter time!

 

Underside vented trys are about as much use as an ashtray on a harley.

 

Before doing the under bonnet mods on a 27 deg day here in perth my car was to hot in the cab to drive.... now all the hot air is deflected out under the fenders and out throught the top fender vents it may be extreme to some folks but i can say it's dropped the cab temp by 5-10 deg lick of black paint and she sweet mate!! piece of p#ss to convert back to standard for the new owner when i'm ready
