Duct Hoses

Duct Hoses
Does anybody know where to get replacement rectangle duct pieces for the drivers side and passenger side air vents? I have looked a lot of different places but I am not finding the rectangle duct pieces. I have all of the dash vents, the center duct my vent screws into has a broken tab on one side which seems to be pretty common, looking for a replacement for that.The other pieces I am looking for are the rectangle duct behind the dash on the driver and passenger side, these become brittle and deteriorate which is what has happened with mine, I was looking for reproductions but it appears nobody makes the rectangle duct, maybe i can find a usable used set but I understand these can be brittle pieces, still looking. I am also looking into adapters I know vintage air sells some but not sure what all is needed to make them work, to everyone who has responded thanks!

I saw some in the Classified section in Parts For Sale ~1 week ago. I don't recall what they were called when they were listed. I believe they were for a Cutlass and IIRC they were of the 1968 - 1972 model years? I'll have a look but I'd take a look in the Parts For Sale Classifieds here on CO.

I know this is one I looked at, I may have seen another thread with pictures, as well.

I found the other thread w/ pictures but unfortunately they were sold. I also found the following (which may be what I was thinking of), but they're the vents and not the ducts.
I'd suggest you place an ad in the Parts Wanted Classified section - I have a fairly good feeling one of the vendor members may have what you're seeking. Good luck!

Thanks, This is the only place I have found that has anything, but its all pretty pricey, he wants $150 for a center duct, that bolts to the back of the dash, I may just have to bite the bullet and pay the prices but I will keep looking first, thanks for your responses!!!

A few years ago I posted that I wrapped mine with duct tape to keep the brittle hoses together. Several folks responded that there is a cloth tape that works better, but I don’t remember what it’s called. Hopefully someone who knows will post.

They want $135 for the DS flex, holy crow, I sold a set a while back for $50, Try Tim Murphy, he got me a set, 859-757-7334. I have bought a lot of parts from him. He is a really great guy to deal and extremely fair on his pricing.
