Why not just fabricate some aluminum deflectors bolted onto the air boxes  
which attach to the front of the heads to deflect water downwards at about a 45  
degree angle?  This should pretty much keep the road crud off the barrels  
and moisture from entering the heat/defrost system.  
 
For Sale:
1981 all black Renault R5 Turbo II, mid-engined 1,381cc pushrod 4  cyl.
Solid car which has been involved in some kind of competition (unknown) as  
it has coil-over Bilsteins, factory bolt-in cage, competition gauges, factory  
Turbo Cup race series Gotti 3-pc. 7 & 10" X 13" rims, limited-slip and some  
non-orig. engine accessories.
New $1,500 Sachs clutch, good brakes, turbo just rebuilt, engine just torn  
down and scored crank repaired, drivetrain good.  This car is NOT street  legal 
(however, talk to me) and just needs someone who is mechancally minded to  do 
some re-plumbing.  Body is very solid/undamaged but has a cheap paint  job.  
Weighs about 2,100#..  Car is driveable but needs some fuel  mgmt. system 
tuning on the after-mkt. system to run right.
I love this car but it'll never get finished if I keep it.
Call for details & I have email pics.    (407)592-2130  cell
