What size openings do I need for the water radiators?   The Wittman Tailwind cowl I have has postal slots of 3' x 7 3/4" , which is   approx. 22 1/4 sq in. on each side.  Sam James for the 160 Lycoming is using 4 3/4' round holes which are 17.6 sq. inches on each side.  My radiators are quite close to the opening and I plan on making the diffusers trumpet shaped, will the openings be large enough if I can stay over 20 sq. inches on each side with a decent trumpet shape.  JohnD       hushpowere II on order - hope to start in 2 weeks if weather cooperates.
