One of the major components that I've been missing for my restoration is the air scoop. I had been on the hunt for one but had been unsuccessful in finding one in a usable condition. I was given access to a very rusted incomplete scoop and from that, along with another carrier owner, weve been able to make a couple of reproduction air scoops.

In the attached pics, you can see the progress of the new air scoops. I also wanted to include the old "master" air scoop as a comparision. There is still a bit of work to be done to finish them, some of the smaller fittings still need to be completed but the bulk of the job is done.

As always comments and constructive criticism welcome.

Very nice workmanship , to you and your mate . Well done ! The welds are scale like and look spot on . Matt make sure the angle at the back inside edge that holds the felt on is spot on , as the radiator is a tight fit up to it . Any Green on the hull yet ?
