Reply to "Heater tubes dimensions - anybody have it?"

Bayani,

Wish I still had clean access to my tubes....would give it a shot at measurements! Actually got Erica running again today! Runnin....not yet drivin....!

Anyway, I thought there was only one hose up front which needed to be stretched just a hair to fit a 3/4?" fitting on the heater core. (???)

The other side went to the valve, which was slightly under 5/8" if I recall.

I recall sitting in the car staring at this going...."one's too small...the other is too big"...."what's up with that???"

Neat pic's of the tunnel! I have no idea what the engine end of things looks like, in terms of access thru that area of the tunnel....but if you could put the 90 degree bends on that end...and still get them thru the tunnel (engine out most likely???)..and being stainless, would be fantastic! A sure fire thing to do ....next time engine is pulled.....!

Since you will have unique pieces for the left and right tubes.... the 90's would likely need to be "nested" to cleanly make the corner and still allow hoses to connect properly, you could have the one tube that needs 3/4" to match.... you have the one end stretched slightly to 3/4"??? Thinking out loud.....

Love the chassis pic! So those two ears at the top with the holes in them are NOT supposed to be bent forward over the edge of the valance? Hmmmm!!!!

Ciao!
Steve
