Hi Guys & Girls.

Happy new years greetings to all.

I'm currently building the Roden Albi DI Roden kit, I am looking for details of the rear facing sides of the rads, I cannot find any and find it hard to believe they were smooth. surely the rear is perforated to allow the air to pass through?.

Any pointers or info would greatly appreciated be :-)

the build was inspred by Lars's wonderful build though I suffered a few mishaps along the way so far.

Hi Keith , yes the rads are smooth . Air past through the front and exited on the sides of the rads . but I'm not 100% sure only about 80 % . Went through the Windsock Datafiles # 11
