It is funny you mention the vents mine runs better with it removed it push all the heat to the floor. Has anyone seen a vent that points outwards rather than to the floor ?

Fitting the OEM Auxillary Heating Ductwork

All fitted; except the plumbing of the fuel into tank. I still have 30 litres in tank.....so 25kg.
The vent cutting took a while; iterative like the B-Pillar hole. Repeatedly placing to vents, measuring, cutting... But in the end looks super.
Yeah vents point down; but hot air rises. And pointing down means less chance of dropping stuff into vents?
Will upload some picies of the whole installation; after PE with Joe

Owain, what heater have you fitted ?
Hi, Yes I did think the hot air rises but it heats the floor up ok I would rather it blow across the van if that makes sense.
Planar 2d, bought from tigerexped in germany. Cause it was cheaper and they had lots of videos, instructions and stainless steel mounting plate looked super.
Inlet airway is webasto plastic and round 60mm hole; all came in tigerexped kit.
Let me know what you think when you get it up and running.
Have run for 2hrs off a bottle of diesel. Won't be playing with much till plumbed in properly to tank.
I’m in the process of fitting my Eber having already fitted the OEM B pillar ducting and generic footwell inlet.
I was aware the OEM inlet duct causing an alignment issue with the generic bracket that’s the reason I went generic. However, I believed the outlet side was OK. Not so!
Can anyone confirm whether or not the Eber supplied bracket should work or do I need the OEM bracket?

I bought one of these. It’s not perfect but with some metal clips it will fit and join those bits up.

Cheers @Skyliner33 . I eventually cut a V in the 90/60 reducer to create an angle. I welded it up eith a soldering iron and cable ties. I then shaved a tad off the OEM duct to add to the angle. I just need to tidy up the welding and sika the reducer to the duct.
It doesn't help that you are using the wrong sized heater for anything OEM - factory fit was Webasto Air Top 3500ST going to the Eberspacher Airtronic D4/B4 on the T6 both of which use 90mm ducting. Those plate brackets haven't been designed to line up with anything OEM.
The eberspacher rubber couplings are slightly of set. They should have come with the step vent and bpost ducts
This is how I have done it I have pulled the 60mm duct up in to the start of the b post to help with the air flow

Yes 90mm and pulled the 60mm pipe into a hockey stick shape to fire the air up the duct.
In fact does anyone want it for the price of postage and packing? At the moment its just a door stop in living room.
