It’s not tough, just a little unnerving cutting big holes on painted parts.

That looks much better than the regular VA vent install.


My dash is smoothed so I would have ample space to install, just have to clear the windshield wiper arms with the ductwork. I am also using the rotary controls as they are going to be mounted in the center console I built.

Thanks, I’m very happy with my results.

It looks like you have a lot of room there to work with. You might be able to fab up a vent adapter to fit that area and not buy those corner pieces.

I bought the Bronco plenum, it has 4 ports. For me it was dodging the windshield wiper and the radio. I ended up building one ugly plenum to get the air up to that center vent.
