I am waiting for my fan shroud to be completed and was wondering if a air deflector would help in deflecting the hot air away from the cockpit. I made a deflector out of a piece of scrap sheetmetal that the shroud is being made from. Since my battery is mounted in the front of the vehicle, the deflector would be mounted in front of it. I was thinking about covering the front of the shield with a piece of lavashield I used in the engine compartment.
