<VV> Foam ball/top heater hose

[Rick Norris]

My style was to use a cheap thin wall exhaust pipe reducer found at the 
local FLAPS.I don't remember the size but, the large end fits snuggly over 
the heater box nozzle. I welded a flat plate over the other end and held it 
on with a worm gear rad clamp. I did slit the large end of the pipe so the 
clamp could squeeze it tight. I painted it before installation. Neat, tidy 
and permanent!
For the hole in the firwall I usually cut a nice aluminum plate and either 
pop rivet it or use some sheet metal screws to attach it  Same with the hole 
in the shroud. Stock means nothing to me and it cleans up some of the 
clutter in the engine bay. Also makes it easier to clean up too.
