Has anyone found a good supplier for the card/foil demister ducts, think its 36" long per side.

There is a guy who attends local autojumbles in the North of England who often has this stuff. Sadly I don't know his name though.

I have used Henry Hoover pipe on my last couple of cars.

Much more resilient than the card / tin foil stuff.

I found a 2 ply silicon one on Ebay, but not quite the same.

It is still possible to get this stuff made to the original spec, but the amounts needed for an order make it uneconomic to do.

These are early Porsche, screen ducts. Virtually identical to original BMC. And they are cheap! Order from your Porsche dealer, part number for your reference 😃😊😉
