Phixius Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Ive recently taken my 521 dash out and put in a 520 dash. In the prosses, the old paper/cardboard hoses that go from the heater core up to the dash vents ripped apart. The previous owner put tape all over them and they just came apart. What can be used for new hoses? Or does anyone haave a pair of extra hoses they are willing to sell? thanks Edit: heres a what im talking about... Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 I always just grab good ones when I need them at the wrecking yard, and keep a couple in the attic for future use. wayno Quote Link to comment

pharouh Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 The 620 I have had one of those thin flexible preheater pipes they use on VWs. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Why not get them foil type hoses that go to the intake from the manifold? Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Do they use the same hoses in 620s and 720s? or any of the cars? They might on the very early 620s, but I do not know this for sure, some of the early 620s have a heater box that is almost the same as a late 521. The thing I don't know is, how the dash defroster outlets are set up on the 620 series. Do you not have datsuns in the wrecking yards where you live? The 720 series don't have tubes like the 521s at all. If you can't find what you need in the wrecking yards where you live, then try older chevrolet truck (pre 1953) supply stores, they sell that type of tubing(it looks a little differant but will work) by the size and length, but open your wallet wide, they are spendy. wayno Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Measure the diameter and go to a hardware store and get dryer hose or whatever that's the same size. If slightly large use gear clamps. Quote Link to comment
pharouh Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Here's what is on the 620. It's oval on one end,and round on the other. Yeah,a manifold preheater pipe might work,too. Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Napa stocks defroster hose take yours as a sample. Buy extra as the 520 vents are a little different in position. Quote Link to comment
Phixius Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Thanks for the input guys. I have looked at the preheater tubes, but I couldnt justify spending $10-$15 per tube at the time(i'll be needing 2). I just may have to open my wallet, as stated. Charlie -- I'll go to napa tomorrow and check it out... Wayno -- Ive called all the wrecking yards in my area, no datsuns except a couple 280s... I took a little trip to Vancouver a few months back, to pick up some parts from a guy in your area ( Grady, i think). He mentioned someone that was near him that had a diesal 521. Would this be you? I might want to head back down there to pick up somemore parts you or he might have. Also check out those junk yards with all the datsuns in them... Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Yea, I am the diesel 521 kingcab. His name is Grady. wayno Quote Link to comment
