Clearing out my barn today and found these beauties! They must have been there 30years plus.

Any idea what they are from?

I knew someone like T6vanman in the 80s and 90s, he'd just glance at a part and tell me what it was from.
It was amazing to me.

But he had a real advantage...he ran a scrapyard!! biggrin

Here you are T6, what the f are these from?
Nobody has ever been able to tell me, not even my long gone scrappy mate.

It's a dashboard air vent, metal. I have the pair, and I have the plastic tubular vents they screw to (not handy at this min, so sorry no pic).
All I know is that they are pre-1980s.

Are they from some kind of commercial vehicle? They don't have the look of something from a car, they look more practical than aesthetic.
