Excuse me,
 I mean "ducts". Did you slit the ducts....

Hi Ed,
did you slit the cowls on the mould to remove them? If not, how did you get the cured cowls off the mould?

John, don't know if these photos will help.  But, like you I only have between 3 and 6" of duct distance on the radiators.  You should do Ok with 20 sq inch on each opening with a good diffuser/duct.  Attached are some photos of my current ducts.  The openings are 18 sq inches each.  I have had one opening down to as little as 10 square inches - but that was a bit marginal - so opened it back up.  I have a generous exit area for the hot air including a larger 4" x 12" bottom opening as well as louvers on each side of the cowl.  So you mileage could vary - but Tracy has essentially the same size opening as well as several others.
