Yup...............well, I've decided with the odd size/shape of this evap, I'll just make the res. Figured, I can use sheetmetal to fabricate the size etc. Then, form 8LB expanding foam at 1 3/4-2 inches thick. Doing this, I should be able to return the evap to it's original orientation.

Lowest she's gotten without insulation or any tuning whatever is -26.2c..........not as good as I had hoped, but after getting things done and start some tuning, with any luck it should improve a fair amount.
