Heater & Demist

I can't find any fixings for the bellhousing splash shield so we can't put the gearbox back on yet, so instead this afternoon we started putting the hoses in for the heater/demister. The tiny T7 Designs 2.2kW heater is already in, then I had a Y-splitter that takes the 60mm (2.5") outlet down to two 39mm outlets. The first bit was ok, the 60mm hose fitted on fine. I had trouble with the 39mm hose, to the point I'm not sure if bought the right diameter hose. It wouldn't go on the outlets so I rolled some thin aluminium round a socket and made the following:

The smaller hose would now go on easily, secured with a jubilee and packed with lashings of silicone.

Now, onto fitting. There is a handy bracket already in that region which holds the wiper motor so we put another hole in that, put a rivnut in the top of the plastic Y and Robert is your mother's brother.

Update 20th January, got the ducting on. I broke one of the plastic demist plenums so had to buy another one slightly different design which was mercilessly dremelled to accept the fixings from the stainless plate on top. Copious amounts of glue all over underneath to seal up and job done.

The ducting going across to the drivers side is cable tied to some self-adhesive cable-tie pads. I didnt trust the self adhesive bit so they've got some extra help from a blob of Wurth adhesive. Stainless jubilees on all ducting ends.
