hi,

> There's no actual fan-connector in 4801 (atleast not in my units),

thanks much for confirming that.  are they 'recent' units?

as the post was from Soren Kristensen, i'd have that that it would be
authoritative.  i'm just trying to find out the current facts.

"works perfectly" is always good to hear :-)

if you might share ...

what size (one hole? perforations? over existing vents?) did you choose?

any particular reason for a single large(r) fan rather than two
small(er) fans for flow-thru?

do you have the fan pushing air in, or pulling air out?

thanks again!
