[T2] Alternator Cooling Boot on 72?

[Old Volks Home]

The photo is the 76-79 optional 70A Alternator.  Airhead/VWG has been
making the Air Exhaust Elbow for this for several years now:

Your older 55A should have had a steel plate with an oval hole for the
original elbow:

If not, someone tossed it.
