01-Sep-03 Modifying the A/C Evaporator Part 2

round and around and it comes out here.



ImageA box was fashioned using plastic sheeting that you can pick up for model cars at most hobby stores. This is a piece I happened to have on hand from another project several years ago. "Waste not, want not".
ImageThis is the box before it was grafted to the evaporator. The plastic will work great because it doesn't retain moisture.
ImageThe box was grafted to the evaporator using pieces of fiberglass cloth and resin.
ImageAfter it setup the new addition was given a coat of trunk splatter paint to help hide the fiberglass cloth and painted black to match the evaporator. This really wasn't necessary but I had the supplies to do it and wanted it to look a little better.

It still looks crude, but it will work fine and no one will ever see it - unless they visit this page.

Here's another shot of the modified defroster duct. The unit was slid in place and it was time to start hooking it up!
