B-Body A/C Fresh Air Intake Duct - 06/21/08 03:30 PM

I'm at my wits end. I need to find a replacement duct to repair my Fresh Air intake. I managed to cleverly destroy my nearly perfect one

It would appear to be made of a single ply neoprene coated polyester fabric with a steel wire helix reinforcement.

My problem is, I can find this in sizes ranging from 2" to 24", but the stock one measures 6-1/2" I.D. This size is not available (I can get 6" or 7").

Does ANYONE know a company or individual that either restores this piece or sells the hose in the correct diameter? I suppose I can make the 7" work if I have to.

I can't believe that with all of the A/C resto stuff on the market that this piece is unavailable (probably due to it being made of unobtainium).

Who did you find that makes it in the other sizes? I could contact them and see if they can make a custom in an affordable quantity. Maybe get the to do the the smaller tubes too. And the ones that vary in diameter on some cars. (I'm NOT up to speed on all the combos but remeber seeing some different ones over the years).
