172 Mk2 Airbox

When putting in my ITG at the weekend i noticed that at the bottom of the airbox there is a cold air feed going somewhere under the pass light and another opening where i assume its sucking in warm air from the engine, Anyone know why this opening is there?

Thanks

Doesn't suck in warm air mate

one feed goes to the headlight where it gets a nice flow of cool air and the other goes further down below the light near the wheel arch....very far away from the engine and always cool.

Quite a good design...effective with decent panel (like the ITG)

i've lost a bit of pipe them, I've got the pipe that goes to near the head light but the other there is just a hole into the air box.
