Re: Vintage Air Heater Hoses at Firewall - Grommets?

So, are you basically wanting to hard line the heater core fittings through the firewall? With the way the VA heater core is made, I don't see how it will be possible? Even if you put bulkhead fittings in it you still have to hook them up with rubber hose. Personally I wouldn't worry about it. I've put over 100k miles on cars with Vintage Air and never had one leak. Certainly not anymore likely than if the original heater core started to leak, then its the same scenario, coolant on the floor...
