Repair: foil hose for heater

Well, the heater foil hose that runs under the bus, bringing the cabin warm air from the engine, decided to shred last week when I drove Indy to work. A co-worker laughed at my tinfoil tail.

I didn't see much about the repair online or in the books. So I went to homedepot and got a replacement aluminum vent. The 4" measurement of the hose was a little off and so putting it on took a little more effort than expected. However -- it looks like brand new. And perhaps we'll even get some heat this winter.
