Where can I get a fan deflector. I sent messages to Ron Tase a few months
ago when I heard he would be making some up, but haven't heard from him.
I'd prefer a deflector which didn't require cutting the lower edge of the
cover.

Can someone direct me to a source?
TIA

Ron has been somewhat preoccupied. His wife Suzie was in process of
retiring from Cape canaveral after 30 some years, they sold their home
and moved into a temporary rental and then bought a new home and moved
into that and are now planning their trip to Alaska.

All of this since November. Try him again!

I deflects the exhaust cooling air to the side under the generator instead of
straight down. When it goes straight down in dusty conditions it throws around a
lot of debris. The deflector kicks the air to the rear side which prevents this
dust storm. Darren
