Black Plastic AC Ducting Repairs

[William M.]

I have a 1977 L-82 which is in the final stages of a frame-off restoration.
The Black Plastic AC Ducting is broken and/or torn on certain areas. Does anyone have a repair procedure for this type of plastic? I can't find any new AC Ducting in the various Corvette parts catalogs.

Thank you,

Page 78 of their catalog.

I've bought their plastic air duct to replace torn duct in my car.

These ducts are usually made of linear polyethylene. This is one of the most difficult of all plastics to bond and repair. However, I believe that Permatex/Locktite now has an adhesive available for use with this plastic. I've never used any, though.
