Unfortunately not..what's broken on mine is the triangle piece that extends off the passenger side of the heater, and it screws onto the fresh air supply box that sits under the glove box.... It has one arched side and two straight sides, I think about 4" wide.... I'll snap a pic tomorrow, should have doe that anyway... Thanks for looking...

So the duct to the Heater box! Got ya.

 

[MacDaddyRabbit]

Life got in the way today,,,, re the pic... my larger rectangle duct is ok, but the rectangle turns into a triangle at the heater box, and there is a rectangle piece maybe 2-4 inches in width that joins the heater to the duct...

 

[bobm]

Ya, I'm lost

 

[MacDaddyRabbit]

Maybe I'm wrong! It looks as if there is a connector piece between the air duct and the heater box, like a collar... I need to get a good look at it again.. I had it apart about 6 mos ago and realized the collar was cracked/repaired previously.. I'm 70 so gotta check myself! Grins...

Is this the part

 

[MacDaddyRabbit]

It is.. It's the 'sleeve' at the front of the third pic that appears bent... If it's available I'm in... thought is I'll use a heat gun and reshape... Let me know $'s .. or the entire duct... thanks

Iam sorry I just showed the pic it’s not for sale just yet , how about a car intertube cut , Iam not done building my 55 yet

 

[MacDaddyRabbit]

LOL... no apologies needed .. It is a help... mine is still installed and it's a visual clarification of my piss-poor description... thanks!

Gotta ask is that inner tire tube cut to fit I see in your pic? Good backup if ....

No that a factory one, Iam just saying could you use a truck or car innertube cut it the width of old one maybe even double it up, just my 2 cents just trying to help

 

[MacDaddyRabbit]

I like the idea...but run fairly straight on the OEM line.... good 2 cents ad thanks...

 

[scrapdaddy]

Man, I think the right size inner tube would be the bee's knees. Any OEM piece you could find would old and brittle....like us.

 

[MacDaddyRabbit]

What's an old man w/o hope??!!! LOL The answer is an alternative course of action! Grins
I agree... no hurry.. so gonna try and wait it out.. but yeah, I like it..

I have one. Plastic is in good condition. No cracks. The rubber coupling part is not so good.

 

[MacDaddyRabbit]

I disassembled mine, used the tire tube fix... good to go... thanks all...
