Wind Tunnel

[AJAX50]

Does any one know of any wind tunnel test being carried out on a standard Healey. Interested to know where the high and low pressure areas are. I'm trying to improve ventilation/ cooling, odd thing to do I know when we've had the coldest winter for 30 years in the UK.

He'd best not have any backfire issues with that plexi on top of the air cleaners......

Try explaining that to the Highway Patrol :hammer:

Hello AJAX50,

I believe that DWR had their record breaker in the wind tunnel. Whether they will tell you anything is another thing, good luck.

Let us know how you get on.

The idea that Cottontop used with the 3" lengths of yarn is a good place to start. It's been used on racing cars for years.

Best regards,

bundyrum.

Tim, was somebody unhappy about you posting those pictures? While not my cup of tea, it was certainly innovative :wink:

ALways interesting to see how the minds of other enthusiasts work!
