Underdash A/C Vent Hose

Well I am starting an interior overhall of some dash peices today, and when I pulled the dash off the hoses that go to the A/C vents in the dash look they have been through a tough war, they just were falling apart (in some spaces only the metal ribs were there) SO since I am repairing my A/C system I am in need of these hoses. You would think they would be easy to find if they become so worn after the years, but I have not found ANY ONE selling these, I spent at least an hour on ebay alone.

So if any one knows where I can get said hose, or has some I can buy, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Thanks,
Jim

those are hard to find not broken. even the ones i see that are not broken feel like they would brake easy. i am assuming you are talking about the rectangle hoses that go to each side of the dash? i would have to look but i may have a set but would be real stiff. i would be worried that they may brake when you try to flex them into place. i got them out without braking them but going in may be a differant story.

are these for a 70 to 72 cutlass?

I replaced mine with the much better rubber type hose from NAPA. These all work great, the only piece I could not find were the rectangular hoses that do the vents on the end. For these I bought round ducting hose at Home Depot and used duct tape to hold it in place to the black plastic (rectangular shape) thing at the hole behind the vent grill.
