400SE - aluminium(?) air vent trims for instrument panel

[Dragon Wedge]

Evening All

Your collective wisdom appreciated.

Been thinking for a while of sprucing the instrument panel and instruments.

Had a look tonight at the cars for sale on PH as well documented in Mr Tank and other posts.

I really like the dash set up in the graphite ca at TotalHeadTurners (Link below)

Can anyone cast any light on a source for the vent trims?

I remember a thread a long time ago about instrument bezels - but I think that cam to nought.

Regards

No - they are a separate piece that fits over the existing vent

I have some on my 400 which I got from someone on the forums here
and think they originally were from Leven

They do look good with the bezel trims

They are from leven, and the ones on the grey wedge where the last set they had.

We need someone to produce some to match the instrument bezels

Whilst the Leven ones look better than nothing, they are a dull silver
compared to the nice shiny instrument bezel ones

I remember Karl Cordwell who had the red Seac 460 had some really
solid looking ones specially made for his car to match the bezels he used to supply

You could actually polish up the Leven ones. The dull finish is created by the spark anodising process they use but you could polish that out.

I have mentioned this to Leven in the past so perhaps if one or two more people ask they may well produce them in that form.

Thanks for that David

I will try and get one of my engineering friends to have a go
