Does the door still rise all the way to the heat-on position like it did before? What size vacuum tube did you use? |

Yes, it still raises up. I actually used some washer fluid hose I had. Its a small ID and OD so it dosn't interfier with the operation of the door. Its the same size as some vacuum hose you may find on, say, a Holley 1945. Don't know how long it will last though. I'm sure the heat will harden it up pretty fast. |

I'll give that a try! Looks like the leading edge of the door is sort of wrapped/curled under, so it could be difficult to get the hose onto the door itself... |

Yeah, on mine it is slightly raised on the trailing edge (facing the air cleaner). It almost looks like it was put there to draw a slight amount of hot air into the air cleaner. Guess the engineers had a reason for this...Did that guy from Fram ever get back to you? |

I don't have, or have seen this particular rigging, but understand its basic architecture. How about a small bead of silicone to form a stop for the door?
