Hi William,
We do not have the factory 912S shroud. The baffle in the rear and
closing off most of the gills is in lieu of the factory shroud.
It is not obvious to me that the gills are necessary or helpful for
cooling the regulator. Although we checked the temps in the top of the
cowl, between the carbs, we didn't check the temps at the regulator.
That might be an interesting experiment.
Regards,
Terry Seaver

Terry, Have you got the 912S shroud fitted to your engine, which takes
cold air from behind the prop and forces it down through the cylinder
fins?
Assuming you have, does your ali baffle across the foot wells still aid
general under cowl cooling?
All, If the gills are blanked off, has anyone found an alternative
location for the regulator to keep it in cool air?
Regards,
William
