What's this "you", white fella?
You seem to have the best example from which to make a mould, I'll organise a group buy from you.

Yeah ok, what are the down sides to not having the plenum?

Water down into the HVAC blower and beyond! That openign at the least needs to be covered.

On a side note, I found on the TD5 I had to make a small 'shield' to stop water ingress through the opening(under the plenum). .. just some (self adhesive) rubber strip surrounding the raised part of the opening and butted up against the underside of the plenum.

I think what was happening, was water sitting in the bulkhead valley, then when moving off, it'd splash into the opening, down to the blower ... buggered blower.

I sikad fine mesh over the HVAC opening snd then put thick rubber pinch grip over the edge that buts up close to the plenum cover. Works well to keep rats, water and leaves etc out. Cheers
