Cardboard Defroster Duct Jeep Cj 5

Hi does anyone out there have any really good close up photographs of the original Cardboard Defroster Duct Jeep CJ 5
Or can someone send me an original that I can use for a pattern. since I had good luck making a copy of the original cardboard glove box I thought I would try to make a copy of the original cardboard defrost vent.

Thanks

 

PM'ed ya....

 

Make a bunch of 'em, and sell them...

 

I found some plastic re-production defroster ducts somewhere, don't remember where. They were not perfect, but acceptable, and not that expensive. I kept a lot of my receipts, may be able to find out where I got them. I will look and see if I can find them for you. It's been 11 years now since I redone my Jeep and I don't remember as well as I once did. Good Luck.

 

Hi I have the plastic one already but I'm trying to make the copy of the original cardboard one

I'm trying my best to restore the vehicle, and that's why I went to the trouble of making a cardboard original glove box.

I know I'm a bit of a purist but that's what restoration is all about. You don't substitute a carriage Bolt when originally they used a step Bolt and so on.You get the picture

 

The plastic heater duct I have, has a 3 inch inlet. The metal heater plenum has 2 - 1.5 inch outlets. You might want to check

 

ok one more time

 

Wow, that is a fine example of a cardboard glove box. I think I still have a cardboard heater duct at home - I'll will check.

 

And again I say, make a bunch of these available to sell!

 

Very nice Jonny, I understand your passion for original, and appreciate your work. I use my Jeep and it gets wet some times inside and out, so I went for the plastic ducts. I have a picture in of driving in a downpour in beamingpix, but still have not been able to connect it to my post. I will get it some day.

 

x2 !!

 

looks perfect... nice

 

Where did you source the cardboard. Is it coated?
