fan conversion completed, air intake fixed, mothballs added
Finally finished the electric fan conversion project https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...ml#post1206820, and two other things as well.
I installed a "MOTOKU Air Intake Hose Tube" since mine was totally dry-rotted and held together with duct tape. I had to use my Wagner heat gun to merge the piece with the air cleaner, and also with the air intake scoop. I'm sure that the BMW OEM replacement piece would've fit better (for 2.5x the price), but having spent >$300 recently on the X5, I'm skimping where I can.
While I was running wires thru the firewall, I noticed a lot of space near the windshield for mice, rats, squirrels to nest. I discourage them by using mothballs on all my cars/trucks, so I added a bag on each side, in a perforated plastic bag. I sure don't want the wires chewed on this vehicle...I'd never be able to figure it out then.
