Re: Rust pits onTA22 bonnet vent..

I believe the technical term for the alloy in question is "shit metal". i have 3 sets of these vents and all are pitted to some degree. the alloy is just very easy to corode.
generally they pitt in the grooves where the water pools, on the ones i am putting on my car i am painting the vents black except for the ridge around the top, so i am fixing mine with filler.
i think they look quite effective like this and it will be a lot cheaper than getting them fixed.
i'll take pix when i get home coz you probably dont know wtf i am on about .
