Many Sling TSi operators have reported that heating the aft part of the cabin is poor when using the side channels so I opted to create a heating system that delivers air directly from the heater core to the back seats using SCEET tubing and some custom made 3D parts.
Pictured below is the adapter to convert the heater core pate down to 1.5 ID SCEET tubing that will be routed through the center channel. This part has a 45 degree bend to push the tube towards the center channel supports.
The other end of this tube is connected to another custom part that takes the 1.5" tube and splits it into two 1" ID SCEET tubes.
Each of the 1" SCEET tubes is the routed through the lightening holes near the torque tubes for the flaps and ailerons as shown below.
I created some 3D adapters to fit the SCEET tube to the back of the AveoAir 1.5" Ball vents.
The hole for the Aveo vent need to be drilled low on the kick plate, otherwise the adapter will interfere with the flap torque tube. Unfortunately I drilled the holes in my kick plates using a different adapter before I settled on a 3D part that incorporates a 90 degree bend.
These holes proved to be about 3/4" too high and hit the torque tube as I mentioned, so I had to patch the part and re-drill the hole.
Pictured below is the 90 degree adapter that connects the SCEET tube to the Aveo 1.5" ball vent.
The finished Aevo Ball vent installed with carpet.
