AC Hose

[hdptsr]

What is the length of foam on 1969 Camaro AC hose, the hose from compressor to the Evaporator?  The protective foam as it goes over the alternator?  Do they sell a reproduction?

Someone on here found a replacement foam from I believe a Mustang parts supplier - do a search under Power Steering hose - it also has foam over the top for a short length.

There are 2 pieces of foam on the main hose from the manifold to the POA valve. Mine measure 4-3/4 but they were most likely 5". From the bell on the manifold it's 18" to the first one. There is 6" between the 2. I purchased part number 15190971 GM from Ebay. Not possitive if it will work but it was cheap. Like 5 bucks. I can take pictures if you need....Joe

Would something like this work for the accumulator hose insulation?

Any pictures of original would be great!

Thanks Joe

Maybe but it looks too thick. The hose measure 1.66 diameter. Here's some pictures...Joe

Maybe check a place like McMaster Carr to see if they have thinner wall insulation available, in a suitable foam material.

I am going to order this and try it, I will let you know how it turns out.
