Start a thread in prayer requests, and may be and you'll get more!
Just kidding! I think you get one anyway with the gryphon and some awesome mints! Sorry for the tangent. Lars

Ok here's pix of mine, complete with very dirrrrrty engine compartment:
 I used a 2" test/knock out cap, 1.5" test/knock out cap and a 1" plug. Another shot:  The "ring" you can see on the far end of the PVC is about 1" of a 3" coupling. There's no need to use a whole coupling for an application like this. I didn't even glue it. I shaped the 2" of pipe that protrude into the fender and still had to beat the "bit-o-coupling" onto the pipe. Trust me, it ain't moving. I had cut the coupling to match the Downspout Connector but then decided I didn't want to use the DC. Used the coupling anyway because it looked cleaner than my shaping job and I'm keeping an eye out for a suitable sealing material to go between the "bit-o-coupling" and the fender. Partly for a more factory look, partly for grins and partly out of OCDness...  Sawzall really effed up part of the tubing, the guard scratched it up some... ach well. Maybe some other day I'll work on cleaning that up. Fixing that will mean smoothing the whole thing though.

I had the same problem with scratches from my jig saw when I cut mine. Cutting it from the bottom side would have hidden scratches...oh well, live and learn. It turned out great, good job! Eventually, I want to get rid of the caps and smooth the openings with some type of filler...just haven't figured out what to use yet.

But then I figured I couldn't match the texture of the intake tube and it would probably need some matrix like a fiberglass cloth or redneck it with screen cloth to help support it; at least while it was drying. So I got lazy, but I think it's the best possible result w/o doing a LOT of work.
