BobT-47P15 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Yes....some fellows have done things to fix and strengthen their ducts. Have you tried the forum search feature by using such terms as duct repair or heater duct or something similar? Something should come up. edit.......try this link to some earlier posts.......http://www430.pair.com/p15d24/mopar_forum/search.php?searchid=1165959 Edited November 24, 2011 by BobT-47P15 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 Mine was a bit on the fragile side with chinks alredy missing..I considered the repair but after looking decided to make one of of sheetmetal and paint it black..of course if I were looking for point on a show...I would not go this route..but for cost..sheetmetal was a great option to me..plus you will not fret every time you have to work in or about the duct..not sure of his reserve but I can see he is playing the possible "sole source card" heavily..

Robert Horne Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 I have been looking at the furnace duct work at "Lowes", plenty of possiblities there, and different types of black spray paint.. Quote
48mirage Posted November 24, 2011 Report Posted November 24, 2011 If you have a structure to start with then buy some fiberglass and cover the duct with fiberglass. I had some issues with mine. Golf ball hole in the side. The end that attached to the heater core was a little rough. I took it off, cut a piece of 2x4 down to match the end that attached to the heater core. Wrapped the wood in saran wrap and glassed the duct work on 2 sides. When is was dry, I did the other 2 sides. When dry again I removed the piece of wood, cleaned up the edges and painted it black. Stronger and looks good. Quote
