bluefoxamazone Posted March 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 this home made duct will last longer than the car it is in I guess... :-) now curing, then cutting the opening for the ventilator and then I will paint it black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laynrubber Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Here it is installed. Fit is not bad. I guess it’s different from the $100 plastic one on eBay. The inside angles are all sealed with a 2 part flexible sealant, PRC is the product; aviation sealant. https://photos.app.goo.gl/xXlnsVAf0yX37IWp2 Edited June 6, 2018 by laynrubber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
