I suggest that you run some kind of flexible tube down there from the heat inlet tube under the back seat, just to MAKE SURE that you understand which channel is actually carrying the hot air. Keep in mind also that this is a VERY IMPORTANT structural part of the car. I suspect that there are some "extra" layers of metal in there to add stiffness to the finished pan. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
