This is to connect the mixer boxes with the feed fitting for the side dash vents.

I did the left side, and with a bit of twisting, the hose conforms to the right shape.

Love following your build. It has been full of the small details that plague these builds along with your solutions to the problems. Thanks for sharing. +1, tons of details most of which are never addressed (myself included) Great job and thank you for documenting. Is there an end date for the build? Thanks, guys. I was aiming for September, since we have our big annual car show on Labor Day (except last year). But now I have some other things showing up on my calendar. And even if I had nothing else, it would be a challenge. Since winter can start here in October, I think I should pace this into next spring. Thats okay, I start each day looking forward to what you have done and the progress you have made, when you are finished I won't have my morning build to watch. It has been a fun journey. |

I got some 50 mm hose, that almost matches the 60 mm stuff from 914 Rubber. It is also a bit stiffer. Where did you find that? I need to do that as well. https://www.mcmaster.com/53335K61/ |

I got the right side vent hose installed. This one has to curve around the windshield washer reservoir and mount.

With the reservoir installed, a tight but workable fit.

They do not fit tightly into the dash front, and can fall out.

The problem is the retaining tabs. Most are not sticking out to engage the lip of the dash opening. Here, the front tab is correct, but the rear tab is recessed.

I got out my junk soldering iron, and applied a bit of local heat.

Then I decided to complete the engine case assembly.
Here is the Web Cam lube--in the tube. Attached thumbnail(s) |

I replaced the oil pickup tube O-ring, and gave it a bit of assembly lube (red).
