Eberspacher re-circulating air vent location measurements

Right, the ebers in and fitted. The last job is to cut the the hole in the boot space near the spare wheel well so I can connect the recirculating air shroud to the back of the heater. Problem is I can't seem to guess where it goes. I don't suppose someone has one fitted and could tell me some measurements?!? Maybe even take a few pictures so I can figure out how it fits? Cheers in advance you lovely people.

 

Mines fitted into the rear space under the crewcab seat near to the fuel tank and is plumbed into then centre heater pipe. I don't know if any of this helps what your trying to do, I can try and get pics tomorrow if you like?

 

You talking about the snorkel thingy?

 

Nice one for the offer but the crewie won't be set up the same a a bus

 

Yes mate. I need to see where it goes though the bodywork into the van

 

Best ive got im afraid

And this

 

• Ive no idea where it would go but if yours is a camper and you want to use the heater whilst camping then thats going to be a bit low, Thinking mattress , bedding and luggage. I think I would be fitting a cupboard or putting it at high level. Also shes going to be noisey if your sleeping there. Just a few thoughts!

 

It has to go there if I want to use the original pipe work. There won't be any obstruction to the air vent and it just so the heater uses pre heated air, thus being more economical. Once the van is up to temp, it will only kick in every now and then. If you look on page 4 of the link you'll see what I mean. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/manuals/bn4/bn4_installation_instructions_1972_up_bus.pdf

I suppose I could guess it by look and at some pictures but it would just be nice to be about to measure it out out and cut the hole. Otherwise I'm working blind really

 

that's handy that's just like mine! cheers!
can take a few pics of mine but a bit dark at mo!

 

If you could take some measurements too. That'd be awesome

 

will try in the morning had a butchers and tried taking a photo. too dark....

 

Right had a look and as far as I can see don't have the snorkel cut in the van any where will have a look inside to see if it's plumbed different but no corner cut out as per the image
Same fire wall cut etc that's it

 

I have a cupboard here as it's a left hand drive and behind that a panel
Sorry

 

Ok, no porbs, thanks for looking. Any other takers on this. Some help would be great

 

how you getting on...

 

Haven't tried putting the vent hole in yet. Been concentrating on the engine and other little bits and bobs. I will post something when it's done though

 

Can any one help me with this. There must be someone out there who cloud take some measurements for me?!? Pretty please?!?

 

Another pic is all i got
