Does anyone have a source for the fresh air bellows up the hood that connects to the cabin side?!?!

1952-54 Cars have the hood hinges attached to the duct. The seals are round on one side and have a "D" shape on the other... made of rubber and a real b***h to install.....

i tried on 2 53s and the "D" end is a real b***h to install and get to stay in place.....

I made one for my '53 out of Butynol rubber sheet. easy to work with because it's flat, not shaped like an inner tube.

I used a piece of inner tube from , I think, a small trailer tire. Possibly even a wheel barrow tire. It was a good enough fit for me. Easy to work with and the price was right.
