I have some pics of the city water mod when I took the port out of my '82 westy. http://shufti.wordpress.com/2010/08/10/westy-city-water-port-fan-mod/ I cut a square of closed cell foam which fits in the port tightly and acts both as a gasket when flap is down, and as a prop when flap is open and fan running. I never used it while driving. alistair
