Brenton -

Those outlet ducts were bonded to the outboard side of the cowl side panel off-line in the cowl & dash subassembly; you can see them in the photo at the bottom of page 20 in Noland's book. I'm not aware that anyone is reproducing them; you may need to cut them out of a donor car or cowl assembly.

John after looking at the photo that you sent me on the fresh air box that is exactly the way my boxes look , maybe i looked at it wrong i was thinking that it was something else that the vent doors mounted to.
