I still had the outboard AC vents to conquer. This is a good task when the thermometer is close to touching 100 degrees outside. I had a design roughed out earlier but I needed to make it more producible as well as better quality via the 3D printer. I determined that the vents needed to be broken into a 2-piece design so that the printer didn't have to make all these temp internal supports that were a bear to remove in a enclosed design. So the pics so what I came up with.
On the LH vent the hose from the evap unit could come in directly behind it but on the RH vent the glovebox was in the way so the hose connection has to be offset. On the LH vent I also had to add a clearance hole on the top plate to clear a bolt head from the parking brake bracket.
I went ahead and painted and mounted them in place. It was a pain to get them mounted with everything in place with everything all mounted in the dash so I made a mental note to mount them earlier in the assembly. I think they turned out pretty good and blend into the existing design like I intended.
