A/C duct source?

1972 car. I seem to be missing a duct on the passenger side that goes from the plenum to the little eyeball vent on the lower right side of the right lower dash panel. The eyeball vent and its on/off pull are there, but don't do anything

I didn't find anything in my Paragon catalog, it this a reproduced part, or do i need to find some used item?

Thanks,
Doug

There's two on ebay right now. I'm looking for the drivers side duct for a 71.

I just looked out there, and wow, what a difference between the prices on a LH vs a RH part. $42, and $49 for the RH - which seems reasonable, and $369, and $149 for the LH side!

Anyone have a clue why the drivers side is so much more expensive? I've had to take it out a number of times to get to the harmonica connector, or the instument bulbs - maybe lots have been lost, broken, or thrown away?

Tell me about it. It seems they're pretty rare too. You would think there would be equal amounts. Every A/C car came with both.

I was pondering if they get knocked around a lot from clutching.

You could do a WTB in the Parts section.

Many may remove it for access to other items & leave it out which may help guys w/ big shoes.
Anyway, works fine w/o it.
