Ok! I removed the entire AC system. Now I need a replacement tube between the fan and the other line. I think the non AC vehicles had a tube that went between them. I while back a member PM'ed me with one, but I have since lost the info.

Any help would be great.

are you talking about the ductwork that replaces the evaporator? if so thats gonna be hard to find, you might just wanna take the evaporator out of its plastic box, plug a few holes on the box and use it instead. just an idea.

Well i desided just to go to the Depot and by flexable downspoat stuff. Almost fits like a glove. A little duct tape and its awesome. $5 for the part. Even painted it black so it looks stock.

I wonder why the factory never thought of using duct and tape.... Hmmm

No problem, just wait until a passenger gets in your car and kick your tube, see how well it will hold up.

WOW! sounds like your mad that I will not buy your stuff. i can tell you that a passenger will not kick the tube, its up pretty hig, in fact your knees will hit before your feet. Don't be mad that people can fix things and you can't.

What is so wrong about a cheap fix Rhino? I think that most of here are on a tight budget. I know I am. Shoot, if it works and doesn't look that bad, I'll give it a go. Nice job there John, it looks good.

Guys, all I was doing was offering a stock item to help out a fellow Rx-7 brother. I go out each month and drive to many wrecking yards in a 100 miles radius trying to save good parts before the cars are crushed and the parts last for ever. Lately these cars are only on the ground for a few weeks before they are destroyed due to the fact salvage steel price are high.

My time and travel cost is worth something and charge a below market price for the parts that I offer to the public. I have sold many of these non-ac duct tube for $20 to other club members, with many happy customers.

I think it is great to have cheap fixes, but honestly the solution provided is wrapping duct tape to make up for a triangle and a rectangle end is not a break thru long term solution.

BTW I have been working on these cars since I was 13 years old and will always support any member and their ideas. Race these cars for years, so I have made and seen ideas that were put to use just to get the car on the track.

In summary I am not "mad" and I am appoligize if I came accross as such.
