I bought AA's heater blower update kit with the Y splitter and installed it over the weekend. The hose that goes over to the passenger side is very long. I'm interested ins seeing how others have that hose secured as it goes over the engine from the motor to the passenger side.
I'm guessing zip ties are used? My fear is that having it loose and flopping around in the engine bay, it could get sucked into the cooling fan (and it just looks bad). If you have this set up, please kindly share a pic of how you ran that hose from the motor to the passenger side? TYIA |

I 3D printed adapters so I could use the larger diameter stiff hose that is available today.
I will still add a mount to tidy it up, but it stays put by itself and will flow better than the smaller hose (though I don't know if that will improve the overall flow or not). IMHO it looks better too, Scott Attached image(s)
