Anyone got a good one of these they'd be willing to part with?



Mine lost an argument with a grinder!

If not, aquatic centres keep decent size ID hoses.

Looks like the Mini one is only £5.99 - just need to double-check that 50mm is the correct diameter for the 95...

That's what I found too - thought I'd better measure it, before buying any!

Found this though:
https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/classic-ducting-aluminium-paper-covered-heater-65mm-id?gclid=CjwKCAiAl-6PBhBCEiwAc2GOVGz5Y2TW5nbpXoY67dns62yhZw7KRV_iPVok3p-oxvdS3SVPjQvkRxoCs1MQAvD_BwE

Which isn't quite as black as the original but at only a tenner plus shipping, I don't mind - plus I've got enough to do about 3 of them!

Simon
That looks like just the ticket.
My ducting is ropey, and too short, because I moved the vent inside down, to fit the radio, so I've just bought some, and will report back.
ps You can spray it any type of black you want from satin to matt to gloss!
I'll try satin.

Bought this from an outfit call Car Builder. 1 Metre, 65 mm ID, £25.
Looks like it will do the job just nicely.
Got it from carbuilder.com
