new duct tubing

[Buickfreak4ever]

Hi guys,

The duct tubes of my venting system are pretty much desintegrated.

Any chance of buying replacements anywhere? Or some alternatives?

My a/c works great, but I can't get the fresh air towards me because of the defect tubing.

Thanks!

Eelco

Year One sells the stuff - I think that the stuff I needed for my '69 was the 3.25 inch one - 2.5 inch was just too small.

Actually, try this one...I think this is actually where I ended up buying from. Google the place, you can download the whole catalog.

Best way is just to go under the dash and pull a piece off of where it attaches and measure it.

As far as length, one six-foot piece ought to do you. Just remember to cut them a little longer since there's always some hard bends that chew up length.

Super, they know me there.

Will give them a call!

Thanks again, really appreciate it!
