It's often hard to read the emotion behind a post... I don't think anyone was trying to attack you or your work - just expressing concern that if your metal scoops get caught on something they could possibly cause collateral damage. Looks to me like they would simply sheer off...

I think the intent with the stock scoops was to redirect airflow over the inner CV joints, to help keep them cool. If so, you might want to rivet your aluminum ones to the outside (bottom) of the plate so that if they do sheer off they won't fly up into the area where the inner CV joints are spinning...

I really liked your post and thanks for posting the plans. I'd definitely be interested in hearing about anything else you come up with...

Thanks!

Bill
