Vintage Air Heater Hoses at Firewall - Grommets? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The heater hoses are supposed to be pushed through the cover plate to the inside of the cab. The hose acts like a grommet. Currently working on mine. I used gates shrink clamps.

Yeah, I acknowledged that in the post but if coolant starts leaking out the end of the hose (likely? no... possible? definitely), it'll go into the cab for who knows how long before you notice. And if you have to get the heater hoses off the core later it'll be a real b%tch. I'm looking for a better option.
