The very last manufactured cars had demister hoses with a right angle elbow connection into the heater that are a lot neater.

Anyone know where I could get a pair?

Also, anyone got a reasonable price source for the hose from the bulkhead feeding into the heater?

Also anyone a source for the foam lining for the fresh air hoses?

Thanks.

I agree that they do look a lot neater.

 

If not able to buy I think these would be an ideal subject for 3D printing

I don’t think you can buy the elbows new anymore.
Remember the later heaters used a larger diameter pipe, so the elbows won’t fit an earlier (metal) heater
