Title: 1959-60 heater duct/boot
Post by: Steve on January 13, 2005, 02:36:25 PM
Hello All,
Anybody out there know of a supplier for the rubber boot/duct that goes from the heater blower to the heater box on the firewall for non-air cars? Im looking for something close to the original, not a hard plastic one.
Thanks to all that reply, Steve

Gday Steve,

What I used on mine is a cut up inner tube and wrapped that around.   Put the overlapping join to the back after you have joined it with some contact cement.

Worked a treat.

And, if the inner tube has a couple of mends in it, all the better.   Hate cutting up a new tube.   Plus, you are left with pieces of rubber that can be used elswear in the workshop.
