Can you take a few closeup pictures of the cowl/firewall, I was thinking doing the same on my 77 bijd

Check out this thread, it gives a good explanation of how the installation was done and and a few more pics:

Unfotunately as the car progresses further along all the race-oriented parts get removed, so no more photo opportunities of the setup installed on the car.
Here are a few shots of the components used to make the hose connections to the cowl/firewall. The larger piece bolts over the heater blower fan hole, the smaller one with the 3 tabs bolts to the wiper motor opening. I didn't need to drill any holes to mount these pieces, I made use of the factory mounting holes and hardware to minimize the hacking and enable me to go back to the original equipment someday (which is
now).
I had access to all kinds of stainless steel material to make stuff out of at my old job. A lot of it made a trip through the electropolish tank, an etching process that cleans and brings out the shine on stainless steel.
