Re: 412 Variant estate build.
Yes I made a new tube to fit inside the original outlet through the bulkhead.
Once I can get to the other side of the box (when I drop the tank)
I plan on welding up the other side of my box.
Screen surround is tricky, but a small bit at a time will see it done...I hope

Re: 412 Variant estate build.
Well I was out today welding up the air blower box under the dash.
Cut the bottom off and made an insert to go inside and welded that in.
Need to seal all the joins next and test for water tightness.
Twas a bit cold, but the welding soon warmed me up
