When I built my 100 I grafted a used air valve from a six onto the drivers =
side footwell and added a full sized air tube to the grille. It complicates=
work in the left side of the engine compartment, but it does provide a lot=
of relief from the normal heat load in the footwell. The most uncomfortabl=
e thing now is the lack of circulation in the chest area and that is exacer=
bated by solar gain while driving with the sun ahead, so I'm trying to figu=
re out a way to move more air in that area. For an open air car there is a =
huge stagnant area behind the windscreen that allows a lot of uncontrolled =
solar gain. My brother-in-law's solution was an oversized white shirt and a=
spray bottle of water...

I would temporarily install a duct from the grille into the passenger footw=
