I really don't like the look of the alternator blast tube on the nose ramp on the baffle. In order to stay in place, the conduit (the plastic hose Van's sells as the blast tube), has to sit above the ramp. I also put some RTV around it to try to hold it in place. I just don't like the way it looks, and it doesn't strike me as promoting a particularly smooth air flow.
What would be better is a hose inlet like what's on the back of the baffling for the heater scat tubing, which would promote a nice smooth airflow into the tube (and a nicer appearance too), a screen to keep big junk out of the alternator area, and a more secure connection (via a clamp).
But I haven't found any anywhere that fit this conduit size. Has anybody? Or is there a better design out there I could use as an alternative?
