Re: [T3] HELP! I don't wanna freeze

The flexible connecting pipe is a part that comes up occasionally,
but often is in bad condition from a scrap car.  I certainly have
one side NOS, but they are different lengths.   The insulating cover
can be easily detached by taking the staples out of the seam.  With
care they can be recycled, and indeed clean up rather well.  They
are PVC with glassfibre cloth inside.  You could remake them quite
easily if you want a concours job.
 The fresh air hose is 28mm id corrugated, if that's any help.  Its
another piece I buy when I see it; it's almost impossible to remove
it successfully from around a rusty tube.

I assume you're talking about the large flex tubes that go from the
heater boxes  to the thermostat housings on the body.

The tubes I'm looking to replace are the paper\foil cool air ones
that
go from the fan extension tubes to the top of the thermostats.  I
was
lucky enough to pick up a new set 10 years back, but it's time for
replacements.  Haven't found a substitute for those yet, nor the
insulating blankets around those big flex tubes, either.
