The original bulkhead on my RK saloon has a gap round the gearbox and bacon slicer. It lets warm air through very well and is cosy in the winter. Above about 45mph cold air wins and the temperature drops noticably.
In summer I cover the gap with carpet otherwise overheating of cabin is a problem.
I have also fitted a Renault 5 thermostat in the top radiator hose. This cures the overcooling of the engine in cold weather and means the engine itself runs hotter. More hot air as a result.
