  • Replacement for original cold air hoses?

    Has any one out there found a usable substitute for the ventilation/heating hoses used on these cars? One of mine simply broke after handling a few years ago and I want to make it as it should be. I thought I could simply use the black flexible hose sold at hardware stores but its not quite large enough diameter. Moss sells a replacement but I think it is a bit expensive and am trying to find an alternative....any ideas?

    1 of my heater/defroster duct pieces is falling apart. Piece of junk only lasted 48 years. ;-) . Roadster Factory has the replacements, but if I buy all new ducting, it's going to be around $200. What have others used to replace those? I can't see spending that kind of money on those. Thanks.


    have a look at that…

      While we are here, does anyone have some plastic bits that they can sell? Looking for the driver’s side demister nozzle, both escutcheons and two Y tubes. They’re for the 4A but they are the same parts.

      TIA

        McMasters carries all sorts of hoses in every size imaginable. I bought all my ventilation hoses from them for a fraction of what the usual LBC part sellers wanted.

            Thanks for the offer Scott, someone PM’ed me and I think I’m all fixed up. This place is a great resource for hunts like this.
