Heater/vent tubes
I'm cleaning,painting,etc.,my heater/vent unit. The plastic tubes that have a flexible, slinky portion have broken apart. I'm not talking about the round vent tubes. I bought new tubes for those. I'm talking about the tubes that go from the blower to the unit and from the unit to the center vent. 2 separate parts. They are not round, they are triangular in shape. The center vent tube is triangular in shape and the other vent tube is square on one end and triangular on the other end. They are black plastic. Any solutions on repairing them? Haven't seen any to buy. Thank you very much. 71 240Z

headliner question
I have a 71 240Z. Most cars have something (cowboard,etc.) under the headliner. My headliner was glued directly to the metal. That is the way it was supposed to be glued isn't it? It took alot of heat. I want to put insulation (fatmat,etc.) under headliner. What adhesive do I use between insulation and headliner? Really good adhesive. Thanks alot

front fender support panel
Would anyone happen to have the front fender inner support panel for sale. It's the ribbed piece on the rear of front fender close to where the door hinges are. I need the bottom part. The bottom 16 inch part is spot welded to the top. My old ones are completely rusted. I made one but I'm not sure how it conforms at the bottom (rocker panel). Should it be water tight at bottom to keep water from rocker panel. Does gasket go the whole way down? I need both sides, but one will do. Anyone have a picture? 71 240Z. Thank you very much, TimsZ

rear lower panel
Thank you very much Mike, and others. The PO had done something to it, but I had to cut my back panel out completely and do some repairs. It's welded back in and looks great. Except for the welds your talking about. I guess I should have known that. Thanks again.

I can't remember and I can't find any pictures of what goes there. there are 2 holes below that and 2 holes off to the 1 side also. Any help on what goes there? I'm not talking about bumper holes. Thank you.

Interior rocker panel holes
Would it be OK to cover the holes in the interior side of the rocker panel with insulation? I think there's 6 of them about 3 or 4 inches round. Thanks
