Hi Ernest,

That sound clear enough and shouldn't create any more of a restriction.
I'll give it a try. I assume the tube should not stick thru as far as
the peak of the venturi.

BTW, hot tip for the day, pun intended - don't stick your fingers in an
acetylene torch flame.  Third degree burns are almost instantaneous.
It was just the knuckle of one finger, about 1/8th of a square inch and
it got my attention pretty fast.  (That's how I know it's a bad idea.)

Move the venturi down another 1/4 so that it is well on the backside of the curve.  Let the tube come through the curved sheet, cut it at a 45 with the opening pointing to the rear.
