Vintage Air Home Made Firewall Hose Connection Plate

[gag1025]

I actually had a local company (Race Tech) make the plate for me. I polished it up and bought the rubber grommets from Lowe's. We also used a piece of inner tube to make a gasket to go between the plate and firewall to protect the firewall paint from being scratched. This arrangement allowed me to use the hard lines under the dash to attach the VA unit. I had a local hose company to make the two AC lines up with male ends. I then stuck them through the rubber grommets and attached the Gotta Show SS lines to them. Now I have a solid line which is free to flex through the rubber grommet as well as having a solid line (instead of a rubber one) attached to the under dash VA unit.

Sweet! I like the way you did this.

Thanks. I just wanted to do something different. Plus, I did not want to use hoses under the dash. There is so little room under the dash I figured smaller diameter would be better.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
