WTD: Heater tubes for Oval
Nevada51 - May 14th, 2008 at 02:57 PM

Looking for a set of oringal heater tubes that run between the engine heater boxes and the body for a '56 oval. Any 36hp ones should do the trick. 50mm internal diameter at both ends apparently.

Like these:

Yes,
they were made of a sort of convoluted steel

Thousands have probaby gone to the tip...

You can Use heater hose...50mm VW Heater hose

Thanks for the replies. Lee - I'm keen to keep it looking very original so I'll look at your suggestion if I can't get a set elsewhere :tu:

The WW ones are cheap but once you add in postage they become horrendously expensive. I should have ordered some in any of the last three orders I've done with WW but I just didn't think they'd be that hard to find :(

Henry - have sent a PM

You usually see them at swap meets

as many people don't use heaters..

but VW owners in Melbourne probably do... lol..
