70 AC hose - Insulation

Any know who sells the insulation that is around the AC line. No - looking to replace it with home foam pipe insulation, looking for the correct stuff. My factory hose has it, but a section on the end is showing it age…thanks

Old air products and classic auto air puts them on refurbished hoses, but not sure if they sell it alone. Might be worth an ask though.
The original stuff on Lady looked like pipe insulation for sure...

The stuff you're talking about is known as Armaflex(a manufacturer name), and is well known in the commercial HVAC industry. Most HVAC wholesale houses, or places like Grainger should have it.

Eh Rob,
Totally off the subject but while your here-what kind of switch can I use for the console light? Thought you posted this some time ago. Door switch is too long.
Thanks.

Extra penguin from your refrigerator?

Can you post a picture of where it should go and how the lid closes? I am unfamiliar how the console even looks.
