The heating tubes were removed from my bradley when I got it. I was wondering what the best way to seal the vent holes would be. Any advice?

you could use a little eurothane spray foam, or maybe hook up a small electric heater/blower in the back and route that for heat/air...

If you are talking about the fresh air ports on the engine fan shroud, you are best to leave them open. Blocking them sets up turbulence in the cooling system resulting in a hotter running engine. Ifyou want them blocked it should be done the way a 73 Thing shroud is made. Below is the wrong way. Ideally the flexible tubes should be left in place and heat exchangers used. In a stock system when the heat is turned off, airflow is not blocked. It gets redirected to blow under the car. Air continues to blow over the heat exchangers helping to cool the heads. Anyone familiar with Jake Raby will know of the extensive R&D he has done when designing his DTM fan shrouds.

Under the dash in the front Go to the junk yard & find some nice vents on a car & mount them to your dash. Most of the snap in. Find ones with a round hole in the back to slide you tube over it. Could use the PVC pipe adp. from Home "D" also to re-size the inlet. I may have a set laying around see how won't be using the dash in my GTII.
