Heater Tube Question

63 Bug, 1600DP w/stock heater boxes.

I just discovered that my heater-hose (or whatever this thing is called) doesn't fit the car.

http://63.230.74.177/baja/MVC-063F.JPG The opening on the heater-boxes is about 2 1/4" across. The hose fits that.

The tube at the rear of the heater channel is only about 2" across.

Does anyone know where to get a hose that will fit late heater-boxes in an early car?

Same prob in my '63 with 1600. The early fresh air boxes actually had the small diam outlet port (carried over from the stale air box). I solved it by getting some hi-temp silicone gasket sheet. Wrap a length around the tube on the body to increase its diam.
