Been thinkin' 'bout the differences in your '50 defroster and my '54 defroster ...
> Was the original hose to your drivers vent 2" ID, and the hose to the passenger vent 1-3/4" ID? I guess this would conpensate for the longer run. Note: Jim Carter has 2" ID cloth defroster hose. Part #MEH225 Listed as 1954-66. Phone to confirm.
> Is the inlet on your drivers vent 2" OD?
> Since both of my '54 defroster outlets on the heater are 1-3/4" OD, looks like the '54 should only need one bushing (if they were used to adjust the size of the openings) Either to reduce the 2" OD driver vent to attach a 1-3/4" ID hose; or to reduce a 2" ID drivers side hose to attach to the 1-3/4" OD defroster outlet on the heater. If the bushings were to change the mating diameters, then there is still no reference in the Manuals on how to attach the hose to the vents and to the heater.
Anybody know if the '54 used two different diameter hoses?
Since I brought it up, here is the hookup in the
'54 Accessories Manual.
