Since I was waiting for my tuner to come back, I decided to tackle another issue that's bugged me: the hvac system. I about froze my toes off on the way back from North Dakota a few weeks ago, as I had no floor heat or defrost. Only worked on max a/c. 

I decided to pull the box and open it up. I wasn't paying attention when I split the case, and the top half came off suddenly, causing the bottom to fall and break the little door with the spring flap on it. I've tried unsuccessfully to epoxy and plastic weld it back together, but it always snaps. 

I've seen replacements online, but no way in hell am I paying $325 for a set of aluminum doors. So has anyone come across a replacement? Or does anyone have a parts truck and maybe sell one? Thanks. 

This is the best solution I can think of at the moment. I guess it will have to work for now until I can get the money gathered for the new doors. A country boy makes do!
