Anyone know where to find 1.5" heater ducting? Series 2a

#1 Post by deanc5 » Wed Sep 08, 2021 1:25 pm

Hi, I wonder if anyone can point me to a suitably sized flex hose for the defrost vents on my 2a. I believe I measured 1.5 in. inside diameter but could be wrong. I'm not near the vehicle right now.
The pic below is from Famous Four in the UK. It's a very cool metal coiled hose that they say is 35mm. Unfortunately, they are out of stock. --Thanks

What type of heater and vents do you have? I have some original Kodiak heater hoses that are in good shape.
You can get this stuff new from Greenline hose and fittings but it’s not cheap!

I get mine from Greenline Hose. Their TPR ducting works well. It is cheap.

Thanks. I'll check Greenline. These are my vents, Matt. I need about 5 feet of hose.

Dont worry, the wiring is temporary! Excuse the dust but I keep driving it even though it's not done. 3 weeks ago the fire fighting contractors cut some fresh fire breaks above the property I'm at. We're just above Swansea Point and the Sicamous fire was still raging back then. Looks ok now though.

On one of the new fire access lines.

When I replaced mine (25 years ago) I got a suitable hose from Napa.
