billrigsby Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) I picked up a fresh air intake setup the other day, in very good shape. Grill end; Firewall end, the flapper still has the original sealing felt on it. Wonder if anyone knows what the original 4" hose looks like or a source?

wallytoo Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) the hose is fabric wrapped around wire (like a slinky, sort of). Edited January 29, 2021 by wallytoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John-T-53 Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 I sourced a new 4" duct hose at Napa. I like it better than the original as it's more flexible and lighter. Use spring clips for a dryer duct - you can get at the hardware store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcotant Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Can you share the part # for the hose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-T-53 Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 I don't have one, I think I just asked for duct hose at the counter. The Jegs link by B1B Keven above looks like a winner too. Here's something on Rock auto: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=5047071&jsn=535 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdad1951 Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I don't know of a "identical" type of hose out there, most now are a coil wire wrapped with a plastic convolute. The originals were more of a fabric and "flatter" and you don't see the wire proud on the hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinlizzy Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 has anyone tried to replace the felt on the flapper? Mine is only 1/2 way around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramps1951 Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I wonder why they thought that they needed a fresh air intake when they all had the pop up vent in front of the windshield. I must be missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is to force outside air through the heater in colder weather vs the cowl vent for cooling during hotter weather 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billrigsby Posted March 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Started to clean up the fresh air intake today, on the grill end, my guess is there is a screen to curtail the intake of bugs. Probably using these clips? Does any one know the correct grid size and proper attachment? Still got a bit to go on this piece. Also got the flapper dismantled to de-rust and paint.

Thanks, I was thinking about that size, of course I have whole rolls of 1/2" and 1", time to do some digging in the scrap boxes as far as rivets go, Dad left me well supplied with a few lifetime's supply of them from UAL.
