Looks awesome, how did you secure it? Rivets/washers or ?My engine loves cold fresh air. I usually not drive in rain so removing the rain cover makes sense. Looks good as well.

Yup, makes perfect sense. Mine is lucky being garaged, and not (intentionally) driven in the rain. Sure does cut down on the heat after shutdown!There are a few people that run with the rain tray removed. The tray serves a purpose, removing it means you need to manage any additional water ingress into the engine bay that the tray would normally handle. The decision really depends on where you live and how you drive and store your X.

I keep telling myself to paint it, but never get to it. Both garages are the same, I guess it saves the builders several hundo in paint and labor?That's the way mine was and 25 years later the ceiling started to fall down. As the contractor was having his guys replace the ceiling drywall he explained that without paint or sealer the drywall absorbs moisture and then disintegrates.... Needless to say I painted the new ceiling.

The aluminium mesh was easy to shape with a small hammer. Then I glued it with a rubber based bond.Looks awesome, how did you secure it? Rivets/washers or ?
Thanks, I like the look and it improves the airflow from below a lot.Hey Bjorn I like what you did with your engine cover. Question: why did you put up a png pic? I have never understood why people have or use png images. jpg is the way to go.
