Larry,
For the bottle, try looking at shampoo bottles.
I previously had an air dam on my Tiger and the Tiger ran 15
degrees cooler and also did not "float" at 130+. I went to
a plastic supply/ sign maker and got a white 1/4" thick fairly flexable
white plastic. Do not know the type of plastic. I temporally removed
the front bumper and wrapped the plastic around the front and
the sides back to my wheel well trim. Bolted the plastic on
every 2 inches with 10-32 SS bolts and holes drilled around the
lip behind the bumper. Partly cut out two ovals about a foot long and
4 or 5 inches high. Did not cut the bottom of the oval. Bent that
back toward the oil cooler and secured with an aluminum strip and
a couple of bolts. Trimmed the lower lip of the air dam to be 3
inches from the ground. Had to buy special treating spray at $15
a can to prime the plastic so it would accept flat black paint.
Also added trim ( salvaged from the side of an MGB) as a strip
3" up from the lower edge. Added a 1/8" X 1" aluminum strip
inside the plastic to mount the trim to. Used spring loaded trim
bolts and SS nuts to secure the trim. After 6 years the plastic started
cracking around the upper bolt holes and I removed it completely.
Bitch to get a jack under the front cross member with the dam
there.
