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) |

Uhh Scott... I hate to tell you this, but the rain tray won't make a bit of difference as to the battery acid problem. The battery is under the RH short grill that attaches to the body. It never had a rain tray, and the rain falls straight on the battery. That causes a conventional battery to overfill and flush acid out on to the battery tray and down into the hell hole. If you run carbs and have good water shields, you don't need the rain tray. If you run FI, you don't need the rain tray. The sixes never came with a rain tray anyway. |
