Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I might easily fab up a new defroster duct attachment neck? As you can see in the pic my PS vent is missing the duct attachment neck. I am installing a vintage air Gen II compac and the defroster vents that come in their kit are way too small to fit my dash defroster vent outlets.

 

What is the diameter of the duct? would a piece of exhaust pipe work?

 

That's a thought. I'll check the diameter but I'd say no more than 2 inches. T

 

Tyler, I have one of them extra. If you are not in a real hurry, I am on the road for a few more days. I could look for it when I get home next week. PM me if you would like it.

 

Thanks Fred! I'd appreciate it if you'd check. Scott (tinman52) is checking his inventory too. Thanks man! Lemme know what you find. Best, t

 

Depending on the diameter, I could roll you one (not a doobie) a tube on my slip roll.

 

If all the other offers do not pan out I have a large box full of defrost ducts .

 

I was missing one of those too.

I hate to admit this, but as a temporary fix, I created one from a cardboard tube and electrical tape. It will hold until I finally scout out a proper replacement.

 

Looks like the guy who posted before you- firstrider - says he has a whole box of them! T

 

Thanks! I'll let u know! Tyler

 

if fabbing one is still on the table... I'd look at some the the shop vac tubes and gorilla glue...or pvc pipd cut to the right angles...

I was also thinking PVC and J-B Weld.

 

For round tubes, I wonder how larger shop vac tubes slit up one side and pulled smaller with zip ties would work? Think like bigger version of that split loom for wire groups. Don't know how well it would work, but might even be able to form it to a square or rectangle using a heat gun?

I have some late model Ford engine intake air tubing or ducting that might would work with mods too?

When I converted my '77 to Factory A/C after stripping a '73 and a '79, I noticed the differences, so I used the '79 parts, the '73 stuff was in pieces by 1986.

 

i had that same problem with my 51 f1 i used a piece of plastic pvc worked out great

 

I have a NOS defroster vent listed on eBay.

I don't think I can list the link, so search for NOS Ford truck defroster vent on eBay.
