Ive jsut finished making some polycarb windows for my doors and bolted them into place. I want to drill the windows for a bit of ventilation but wondered where the best place would be, to get the most airflow through them with minimal holes? (e.g front, middle, back of window).

Not sure about location, but have you thought about drilling them at an angle, towards you?

In a MK1 with sliding windows you get better cooling from sliding the front pain back than you do from sliding the back pain forwards, in my limited experience. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

You'll find in practise no matter where you drill the holes, you'll get bog all air through them.

Hmmm the vents are still open, if I could rig it up to blow cold air on me wihout looking gash that would be the best way. Saves having to tape up the holes in the windows over night. Lol https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Surely the standard "eye ball" vents are good enough for this task?

all my rally x perspex had a hole drilled in the bottom rear corner, the hole was about 2" diameter i managed to keep the dust out so must be the place to put it :)

theyre really good .as long as you have a pipe to the front of the car on them . Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

One of the requirements I set when turboing my road car was to retain the 'eye-ball' vents and all the pipes that go with them.
