Can you take a picture of the connector and send to me?  I am not sure 
what kind of connector you are talking about but may recognize it  Send 
it direct to the email address in the header of this message.

That is probably something your dad did to help with cooling.  The 
factory 350 did not have anything like that on the back.  It really 
isn't needed for operation if you keep in mind the design specs for it 
is about 10 mins on and 20 mins. off.  Adding a fan will extend the 
transmit time and help shorten the receive time.
