MG MGF Technical - rad air duct kit

hi does anybody know the dimentions of mike sature air duct kit for rad as he is out of stock i plan to take frt bumper off to repaint in nxt 2 weeks so thought of fitting to f to improve cooling before i go to mgf 10 thanks i would like to get sheet aliminum cut to size prior to stripping to save time thanks richard

I'm interested in this too - did Mike indicate that he had any plans to re-stock?

I'd anticipate that the width is roughly that of the radiator - and a quick internet search should reveal this dimensional information :o)

havent had time to contact him yet as a panel beater hope to fabricate these myself out of aliminum. if i dont find out will try to fit when i strip bumper.will send you finished dimensions when i do it hope to see you in gaydon

That'd be great, thanks!

I am pretty sure I've seen pictures of this installation somewhere - so when I find it, I'll post the link :o)

See you at Gaydon. I hope to get the Shed trailered up for the occassion! :o)

Looking at Mike's website, the duct appears pretty simple - http://www.mikesatur.com/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Performance_Tuning_30.html - should be reasonably easy to knock up in sheet alloy or plastic I'd have thought?

Shame it's out of stock, otherwise, like you, I'd have bought one!

hi rob did the ducting the weekend put the lower one in and sides but not the center one as thought it wouldent do much except possibly go through rad in minor bump . the specs are as follows 3mm perspex 28 in x 8 in. cut out around the two rad lower pegs and fit using the two 10mm bolt holes in lower panel .the sides are 2mm x 11mm bonded in at 45 degree angles against the rad found this angle better for airflow used windscreen sealer as it was handy as i was fitting new screen at the time no nails or similar would suffice methinks have noticed slight improvement in temp have photos on mobile will look for you in show and show you :)
