Round heater ducting hose

[Exile]

Just to avoid confusion, are we talking about grey plastic?

As all the impregnated cloth ducting I have seen on Series Ones and early Two's, is black. (See attached photo of a March 1959 vehicle).


Wyrem do a very smilar cloth product, of correct diameter for those who want the original look, but it has a yellow stripe down it - so you will either need to turn it to the bulkhead, and/or put some liquid rubber over it.

Back when I bought it, you had to buy much more than you need, so it is more suited to a group purchase.

Yes - light grey plastic like this one on my SW

Is it known when the cloth ducting was abandoned, in favour of plastic?

My September 1961 Station Wagon has the cloth ducting.

  My 62 Dormobile (blue) has 2 inch black cloth heater hose with a silver metal strip. Still the original hose in great shape.

 The 69 NADA Dormobile (when I got it) had cheap white plastic 2 inch hose that looked like it belonged on a swimming pool pump. I threw it out........then found out that Land rover used that cheap white pipe on all the 811 NADA's maybe to try and modernize things?
 I replaced it with what I thought was the correct Black hose with the silver strip.   I'm not changing it back.

  The 62 has a Kodiak heater the 69 has a smiths heater, the Kodiak will just about blow your hat off, the smiths.....well it works okay.

  Now if you want to up date your old black cloth covered heater hoses simply clean them, then mist them with  gloss black spray paint and highlight the silver strips with a permanent  silver paint marker.

I haven't seen original ducting with silver stripes in the UK.

Anyone? 🤔

I think mine is 32mm ID

Grey from the 1960s in our 59 diesel but it is a bigger bore because the heater is out of a TK Bedford truck.  It throws out some serious heat and the fan is like a turbine

I might be able to get hold of original cloth covered in black wyrem type

   Both my Dormobiles have 2 inch diameter hose with a large demister attachment, other rovers I've been in have smaller hose and much smaller demisters for the windscreen. I was riding with a buddy on a cold rainy day we couldn't keep the front windscreens clear, when I opened up the floor vent on the heater the motor speed up by a huge amount, he had the smaller restrictive windscreen vents and smaller hoses.
