Air Scoop Guard

bltlar 3/18/01

Could anyone tell me the measurements of the air scoop guard? It appears 25" ctrs for 3/8 bolts. What is the diameter? How far down? Overall length of tube? Am thinking of making a stainless for the HS.

If you haven't received an answer to this, here are rough dimensions of that on my car: Tubing diam. 7/8 in. Depth 4-1/2 inches. Bend radius 3 in. Overall length 32 inches.

Thank you Phil. You were the ONLY one to reply. Thanks again. Might make more than just mine. A number of people have asked me about them. Will try to make of stainless steel and polish like chrome. Won't rust that way.

Sheet Metal Under Bumper?

When I was helping the new owner of my project Super Sports load it onto the trailer, I noticed a piece of sheet metal that was located under the front bumper area, and seemed to be there to deflect air up towards the radiator. Is this a stock item? My new one is missing this piece.

I believe what you were looking at was what was called the air scoop. This was on Hot Shot and Super Sports models to channel air up to the radiator since these cars did not have a grille. If your car has been customized with a grille, it may no longer be necessary.

Scoop Color

Need to know the proper color of the air scoop. Should it be the same color of the car or black.

The air scoop is black.
