The defroster vents supplied by Vintage Air are plastic and not as wide as the original ones. I would have had to weld up the old holes in the dash and drill two new ones for mounting the new vents. I decided to use the old ones and then found out the old vent hose was 1-3/4", while the new hose is 2" in diameter. After some head scratching I remembered I had some 2" exhaust pipe left over and found it just slipped over the old vent pipes. They were a little loose, so I mixed up some metal filler and packed it inside. When it dried, I sanded the rough spots out and painted them. They will work great and will be a lot sturdier. Plus they are original equipment. Not that that makes any difference now.
Got to install the main box under the dash next.
