Default DIY Air Conditioned Seat

I added AC to my seat's back and bottom. I got the idea from an RC thread. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rc-...d-seat-15.html
The DIY driver seat mod is 22.5C and the factory seat is 31.2C. It's pretty cheap, just 3/4 in x 5/8 in flexible tube from the hardware store, wire ties and tape. Has anyone tried something similar?


Step 1. unzip the back and put the tube from the bottom corner to the top intake fan.


Step 2. Secure the tube with a zip tie it to feed the intake fan. I cut a small slit near the tip of my tube so I could zip tie it to the metal plate.


Step 3. Loop the tube once to allow for slack when the seat moves. Shove the tube into the vent and tape it. Put something on the other side of the vent to direct air up to the bottom fan.

Looks like a cool mod. Maybe you can add another box full of good smelling stuff like orange peels and tap the line to it and now you can have AC cooled AND freshened seats.
