Re: Anyone know a source for the chintzy original duct hose 1941-47 Clippers?

I think you nailed it. That, and as a lifelong Packardite points out, he's seen few 1941-47 Clippers with this option, and the later cars used larger diameter ducting, so apparently not enough market for repro.

Right, the niche industrial supply prices are for the birds.

However, found some 2 1/2" identical material via an old Ford vendor, Dennis Carpenter, which i could shove into the duct adapters and call it a day. But it won't go far enough in for a good seal without hitting the flapper valve. So perhaps stuck with some modern 3" ducting sprayed flat/matt.
But it'd be nice to have that ancient, once ubiquitous material.

Wish someone here had a 1941-47 Clipper so equipped.
