I like the looks of the GT lids. My car is a baisc 70 with a 73 2.0L. As you can see from my signature I do AX my car so it does (gasp (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) ) get driven in the rain from time to time.
So I think I will get one of PCA7GRR GT Lids this winter. My question is there anything that needs to be done to help protect the electrical componets in the engine bay? Is putting the rain tray back on a GT lid going to help at all. Should I not even worry about the water? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) |

Cut the two bolt holes in your engine bay lid HINGES into slots. This way you can easily remove and swap out your two lids. You just loosen the two nuts, slide the hinges out and slip in the other one. It also makes it SO convenient when working on your car.
If you have to drive your car on nasty days, just use your old lid. You can do a lot to weatherproof your wiring by going thru it using heatshrink, cloth tape, flexi-tubing, etc. I purchased some rain bonnets for my carbs from one of our club vendors. |
