Where to get those cool little hood scoops for the rear corner air inlets on EB hoods

[Jeff B]

I've seen one or two early Broncos that had some really cool little hood scoops in the corners of the hoods where the little square air inlets are located. I just purchased a new fiberglass hood and want to put a set on my hood. Anyone know where I can buy these or have ANY information on these? Thanks for any help.

I know one of the members on this site (who I can't remember) purchased the hood scoops through JC Whitney.

Monkey, I beleive you are looking for Waverous' hood.

some people like to turn them backwards like cowl intakes, but his are forwards. The ones below are the 'euro mini' and he cut them out himself to make them functional.

YAY SEARCH FUNCTION!

Must be nice in a heavy rain on the interstate. They do look good though

It was JC Witney but they were actually for something else I think other than a bronco hood, cant rember what.. ?:?
All fails email the pics to JC they should know.

If you do find out let us all know. ;D


I was thinking of turning mine backwards but hell I dont drive mine in the rain More worried about gobbling up bees and hornets

Looked for quite some time on JCWhitney site and could not locate them anywhere. Anyone want to take a guess at the dimensions of those little hood scoops? I may start looking elsewhere if I can't get them from JCW.

No problems with water as of yet - the vent boxes have drains in them for all the rain they naturally collect while pointed directly up to the sky on the older style hoods

WAVEROUS,

Where in JCWhitney did you find those little hood scoops? I've been looking and looking and I can't find them! Do you remember how much they cost?

I really would appreciate some help on this one.

Actually, due to the strange areodynamics of a bronco, the cowl facing scoops work better then the forward facing scoops.
Ever look at the water drops blowing forward on the hood after driving in the rain?

i wonder if they's keep the pine needles out...

 

[MnkyBiz]

Aloha Braddah Mick!

Nope,

Da Pine needles find a way into everything (your undies if you aren't careful!).

Beware conifers! They likes to gum-up our engine bays!!!!

Aloha!

Not sure if these are it or not. Will have to measure the vent to see what will cover.

THis is the link to the page that I used to order the scoops from - I believe it is the same link Bolt Buster found

 

[Jeff B]

WAVEROUS and BOLTBUSTER, thanks for all your help. Looks like it is part # ZX812812V (8"Wx1 1/2"H x 10"L). I did see those on the site but I didn't think they were that big. At least I can order them now.

WAVEROUS, they didn't come cut out already? What did you use to cut them out?

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

PATIENCE primarily along with an exacto and a file. I had to drill 4 small holes in the corners to have a starting place to cut

 

[BoltBuster]

Waveverous Thanks for mail, Do you find the vents gobble up things?

I wonder what side exhasut vents would look like..hmmmm ;D
