Thanks. A couple of things.

The two side vent hoses from the mixer boxes are "bitches" to install. It can be easier if you attach the hoses (that run from the mixers) to the plastic side vent connector before the vent connector is bolted into the firewall.

Attach the long tubes to the inside longs after they have been connected to the mixer boxes and the rubber seal is inserted.

I installed the blower box following advice here. Glued the rubber down on the blower using super glue. Used a lubricating gel on the outside of the rubber and left the two steel cowl supports off. It slid in rather easily. Don't forget to attach that cable on the bottom of the blower box first and plug it in also.

The windscreen defrost vents and mixer boxes slid in fairly well. I just went slowly and didn't put too much pressure on them. I inserted the top into the inside vent gap and then slowly pushed the bottom of the mixer boxes front towards the firewall until it popped into the gap. Make sure the cable that connects to the rear of the drivers side mixer is connected before the mixer is installed.

Oh, and install the washer hoses before the blower box.

Thank -you. While I am fairly mechanical, having grown up with an Uncle who was a mechanic, I could not have got this far without all of you on here. This has given me the inspiration to complete this project and perhaps do the same to my 911T. This site is fantastic.
