looks to me you make one.
I'm looking in a late edition Bentley on page 26.2..
and see 'connection for warm air fan' .

I've made those before, ..that sort of air-cooled Type IV pipe.
I used  2 inch galvanized cutter drain pipe.
they come in turns and angles ..
the almost 90 degrees ones are pretty generic.

In a 72 Bus I had  I didn't like that squirrel cage blower above the engine.
I used gutter pipe like I'm talking about to make it full ram air from the
cooling fan ..
worked just great. Just need to get air jammin' throgh the heater boxes,
then to the front.

- or maybe some air-head type vw person has one for you.

I make most not-too-technical parts like that for vw heating systems if I
don't have something ..
go thee to thy local hardware store is my suggestion.

even flex metal air hose will work.
