    Front Ventilator Behr repair

    Hi all,

    I am working on my heater ventilator (1970 behr) which is in front of the car under the dash. The ventilator works but the air is not directed the right way. I took it apart ( I love taking stuff like this apart). The valves have a foamy like bearing which is disintegrated. Any idea how to make it buy a good replacement? It consist of foamy material and it is ring shaped. Must be hot temperature proof.

    Thank you for your comments and helpName: 4EFBD1EF-AB3D-4B08-910A-363099ADF5F9.jpg Views: 252 Size: 139.0 KBName: CD8D016A-3373-47CC-BE19-2E9F9186EBC5.jpg Views: 229 Size: 70.0 KBName: A00BE377-8495-430E-97C5-808CF7353795.jpg Views: 247 Size: 140.0 KBName: A55886CA-95EB-4FC4-82AB-B7F9A3D9C0B5.jpg Views: 210 Size: 67.3 KB

    I used some red silicone sheet material. Not sure if it was one or two layers, but it worked!

    I always wondered if neoprene would work well for these?
