[Tigers] The holes on the left and right of the radiator on the Sunbeams

[Jay Laifman]

Sounds like malarkey to me.  Remember this was an ALPINE first and those
holes were there then.  I'm not thinking that they were anticipating a V8
engine in there when they designed those holes.

But, regardless, I think it's pretty well established that they are bad
news for keeping the air flow through the radiator and should be blocked
off for Tigers.
