62 mystery tube

[Gerry A]

In the photo you can see a rubber vent tube on the htr/def blower motor. Anyone know who may reproduce or supply one? Mine keeps falling off. Luckily it lands on the frame and I have been able to retrieve it but I can't be lucky forever. Weatherstrip adhesive has helped but it still gets loose after a year or so. Appreciate any help.

Have you tried black rubber like form-a-gasket as adhesive?

Right Stuff

The stuff I used was 8011 weatherstrip adhesive. Have not tried Form-A-Gasket. I have used Right Stuff as gasket sealer and I think I still have some and may give that a try. Thanks to both of you guys.

If all else fails Duct Tape. If it's good enough for NASA and Ron Jeremy it's good enough for me.

Take a small black zip tie and use it like a clamp

Drill a hole through the metal and put a sheet metal screw in it.

This is how I keep the turbo down pipe on my Mack.

I would just get some small clamps and put them on snug.

The hose does not go over a tube on the motor. It is built like a grommet and slips into a hole in the side of the motor. Thanks for all the advice.

Just run a Bead of black permatex silicone around it next to motor and on to hose and take your finger and smooth it around .

you can try this or sometimes can find something on the HELP parts racks in the auto parts stores. 78-87 G-bodies I think used something similar. A walk through a junkyard might find you what you need. Don't be afraid to look under the hood of some of the "other" brands.

ragtp66: That sure appears to be the thing I am looking for. Thanks a bunch. I will head down there tomorrow and check it out or just order one and see what I get. It has the same construction as the original.
I have searched a bit in the yards but came up empty. But I was only looking at mid 60's stuff and in my neck of the woods AC was not too common back then.
Thanks again.

Will this tube fit a '62 radio??

62 radios had transistors!
