Will these hoses make that sharp of bends? If they do restrict air flow?

Good evening Benson,

did I understand correctly that you did not put the aluminum concertina on the outside of the pipe donections, but inside?

Why?

How did you fix the flex-pipes from the inside?

OK guess this will not work with the sharp angles here ... never mind

May have to find the correct manifold heater for the hole that is there.

If the hole is closer to the aligning with heater the flex hose works great.

Good evening, I installed the heater door today (thanks to Kathy for this beautiful old three-part!). I cut the socket-link (tube between the heater and the cabin-body/firewall) out of an aluminum drawing accordion for bathroom fans. Then the two ends are fixed outside with stainless steel straps / cable ties. Everything covered with shrink-varnish so it does not look like plastic new cars.
