Default Another hard to find small part….

Slowly making progress on my 69’.
Ive been working on my Astro Ventilation rear vents.
Looking for the rubber piece or metal piece that holds the small diameter rubber hose to the diaphragm.
Here is what is on my other 69’.

Your best solution for securing the hose is a small spring clamp. That rubber piece was bonded to the hose and unless you find a NOS or a good used hose assembly we'll good luck...

You can try some of the Corvette Salvage Yards. I sorta remember seeing a part like that on one of my older cars, maybe my 68 Camaro ( long gone ). Look at some of the various GM vintage car parts suppliers, Camaro, Firebird, Gran Prix, in HVAC Section. Good Hunting
