Replacing Defrost Hoses for 1971 Demon

So how did you physically get to the vents? Was the dash apart? Were the vents out of the car?

In the pics with the measurements shown, the entire dash was out of the car including the heater box. I pre assembled everything before installing the dash to make sure everything would go back together ok. This is where I found the problem with the DMT kit.
After getting the proper type hose from Nappa, I was able to reinstall the dash and heater box , then just reach up under the dash to install the hoses onto the vents. Just used a little white grease around the edges of the hose and they slid into place. Completed the job in a few minutes actually!!
