I made my own scoop to encourage coolant to flow into the heater and did not use the adapter that fits on the upper radiator hose. Works great in the winter and coolant flow stays off in the summer.

There was a thread on the Barn forum a couple of months ago where an owner did a great job routing the heater pipes using soldered copper tubing. Much nicer than my rubber hose.

Can you post a picture? I’d love to see where/how you mounted it.
