Heater outlet rubber elbows

[Hoghead]

Is there a source for the rubber elbows at the heater outlet, or a number for a rad hose than can be cut to suit. IIRC the elbow is hose ID x hose OD?????

One source for the corrugated paper hose is an old Beetle - 38mm ID

I don't know about where to find an exact substitute, but the I.D. is 1 1/2", and the rubber is about 1/8" thick. Maybe a friendly guy at the local parts store will let you peruse some radiator hoses?

same size both ends?

 

[Pete S.]

Yes.

On my series V, you only need 1 rubber elbow. The second connection does not have a rubber elbow. I only had one rubber elbow and I assumed the second elbow was missing. It took me a bit to realize my setup was correct...

I am thinking what you refer to as "corrugated paper hoses" are the defroster hoses. I bought defroster hoses from Rick at Sunbeam Specialties a few years ago. His 2021 catalog shows them as back ordered. Have you checked with him?

Here's some under dash images of B9470580, perhaps the most original Mk.1 Tiger yet discovered. You can see the factory setup for the demister hoses.

I think that Tiger may be missing the clip on the rubber elbow to hose connection.

Quite possible. I had a rubber elbow, that had clamp marks similar to the parts book image you provided.

This corrugated hose was mentioned in a post by someone else
Not sure if it worked for them

Thanks to all for the help. I only have elbow, and too thought that I needed another. I have also found that 38mm hose as used on a Beetle is very similar, and easy for me as CIP1, the big VW supply house, is right here in Vancouver.

I used it on my car. Fit and looked fine.

I wonder if anyone that still has that clamp on their rubber elbow could post a picture of it for us?

Series V

My series V setup is the same as the picture Paul354 posted. Interesting that the Parts Manual shows the clip at the elbow to demister hose joint, not the elbow to heater box.
