Anyone know where I could get there placement paper wrapped foil tube for the rear cab heat vent?

Any idea on tube diameter? 55MM?, 60MM?

I picked up some corrugated aluminum tubes from Zims Autotechnik http://www.allzim.com/acatalog/Air_Cooled_Engine_Heater_Hoses.html

Defrost tube on Thing is around 65MM

Mine has a smaller tube that makes a y in the front. It is smaller about 1.5" in diameter. I'll try to get pics up. As the heat tube goes up in the front there it is.
No idea?

Double Cabs have a little Y outlet near the front for the back seat heater outlet. This is Double Cab only and a lot of people don't know it's there - even Double Cab owners.

Hit up JOGR...He is selling the heater wrap kits NPBusguy was making and selling awhile back. You may be able to get some material or pieces you need from him. Here is the ad...

It's an insulting wrap that goes around the heater tube(s).

That's different than what I'm looking for.

This tube replaces the metal tube seen in the pics I posted. I'm not looking for the vinyl/cloth insulation wrap, i'm looking for the tube itself. It's similar to the fresh air paper tubes on the engine but it is a smaller diameter and metal reinforced.

Head over to your local FLAPS, most have a selection of universal fit preheat tubes in various diameters. That's where I found mine.

So the metal tube you have is not original? I'll have to check my DC when it gets back whenever it is ready.

It is original, it's not a solid tube like the earlier model shown in the pics. It's a small diameter paper/metal tube much like the fresh air hoses on your engine.

Hey Crofty I got mine from WW ask for mark and let him know what you are looking for he will know the part # of the tube and the clips if you need them. I just picked some up for my DC.

Let me know if it fits when you get it. I asked WW and was sent some tubing (superbeetle something or other ) and it was still too big. I was going to send it back but with shipping it wasn't worth it so I used it anyway. I used a little of the old stuff inside and clamped the tube on. It's working.

I tried the flexible exhaust pipe but the curve is too tight to use that stuff- it's not flexible enough.
