The aluminum shrouds can be purchased from PRI -- http://www.prirace.com I may also have some drawings for the shrouds. If you are interested, let me know and I'll look for them. Seems to me, I received them some time ago from someone on this list.

Early on someone (I believe Richard) mentioned the importance of the cardboard panels in the spitfires engine compartment. Unfortunately when I got my spit, they were all but torn out - leaving only the stubs along the bottom. Granted I haven't had too much of an issue with over-heating, although on a warm day, I often have the cabin heat on full to dissipate the extra engine heat. All that said, at one point I saw (somewhere online) that someone had made a nice set of aluminum panels to replace their cardboard ones. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? It would seem to me that aluminum panels would allow for better heat transfer out of the compartment than cardboard panels - only adding to their cooling ability. With that said, the question then is: a) Does that logic make sense, or are cardboard ones apt to be better? b) If my logic is sound, does anyone have any form of drawings for these panels that would allow me to create them? - Remember I only have the stumps left where they bolt in. thanks again for all help offered :) c.
