After removing and reinstalling my front clam a few weeks ago, I've noticed that I'm missing the clam spline hot air dam. Does anyone have any good pictures of what it looks like or a part number or alternative solution?

It's the "hot air dam" in the picture.

See my post #1 with solution, with or without insulation block, and photo #7.

Just wrapped the duct and shroud pieces off the radiator today, looking forward to seeing how this does during our next hot day out.

Nice and easy install for a potential big benefit.

Did you also do the central spline?

Yup stuffed some of it around that piece as well.

I have fought many battles with my A/C with Vipers advise guiding me along the way, I just completed the insulation of the front end of my 05 elise as the latest skirmish along the way to victory. I can say that this has made a large improvement, before I was getting noticeable hot air from the vents after the engine warmed up which the A/C had to overcome, now this is almost eliminated and I get a steady stream of 48 degree air out the vents when the car is up to temp, after the footwell mod and covering the front intakes this is the best the car has done yet. I might go ahead and insulate the footwell and the sills but not yet, at least it is liveable now.

Many thanks to Viper for his great tech tips on this.

I did the same... I don't notice much difference at all and I even installed the hot air dam which was missing previously.

I'm planning on doing the footwell and front vent mod next...
