Thanks for the "plug" Mark! One of these days I'll have to do a video of the installed system.

I don't smoke, but I'll find a ciggy and blow smoke in one of the side intake (formerly vent) and see if it shows up coming out the heat or defrost vents. If I can, I'll make a video of it.

The airflow worked on the bench, so should now that it's in my van.

Cheers

Neil Nicholson.
