Radiator Air dam

I have been have troubles with my engine getting hot while running back the return lane, have read about the lower radiator air dam and effects that has, I have no panneling under car at all,(was removed when I bought it), and car is not street driven. just wondering if someone can send me a couple of pics of the underside of front bumper and skirt and airdam.
Will post some pics of car in action after next meet

Here's some decent pictures of the air dam:










It pretty much just bolts in right on the bottom of the radiator support, directly below the radiator or AC condenser.

Thanks for that, exactly what I wanted.
I should be able to make that up out of 2-3 mm alloy plate.

I'm gonna have to get a hold of that bracket too, I think I should put an airdam on my car. They aren't too expensive it seems.

We can't get those parts here in New Zealand so I will have to fabricate something.
