I do need the door plunger rubber and a battery hold down. I am not sure what the heater elbows are?

Here's a picture of a heater elbow. It mounts on the heater box and connects to the defroster hose. If your car has a heater, you'll need two of them

That would be great except that the molds for the parts is the big investment. Molds can cost anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars so it can take a long time just to recover that cost.
It can take years to recover the production costs if ever.  I appreciate anyone who takes on this task.
Most companies will not take on small runs. Just the time to find a company get them onboard check samples and finally come up with a finished product is enormous. I know i have done it.

Lee, it looks like I do need te Heater elbows too, right now there is a plastic flex hose jammed in the heater box and zip tied to the defroster. Do you know what the hose to the defroster looks like and where to get it?
I will call this weekend about the parts if you will be available.
Thanks,

Are you looking for the support rod that goes from the front frame to the top of the radiator?

Lee,
Yes that is the part I am looking for, the support rod, I am not sure what it looks like or where exactly it mounts. When is a good time to contact you?
