Looking for a 409 engine bonnet-compatibility?

This is something I will seriously consider doing on my 410 this autumn; if anyone else has created vents in a similar position, I would be interested in their views.

Thanks, Brian. I have been wondering about the possible benefit of venting into the wheel arches to let hot air out of the engine compartment. I hope to investigate the possibility when I get my 408 back on the road (hopefully in a month or two ).
