any chance that someone knows the rear view interior mirror source, mine has a wingard on at the moment but can't find that anywhere and it's not a triumph or classic mini.



Who has a picture of there foot well air vent I hope mine is missing something...



cheers for any help with links

As far as I know, that mirrors the original. Its the same as mine (S1) and I have seen it on at least one other. Also saw one go on E bay a few months ago listed as a Vixen mirror. I think it went for about £60 and a second, which was only the mirror part without the bracket, which I think was from a Tuscan.

Steve will know for sure

Why can't you just replace the mirror glass ?

When my car was restored, I also looked for a Wingard replacement without success, and then found that the glass would pop out of the glass holder fairly easily after immersing it in boiling water. A new mirror glass was obtained and refitted using the same method.

The air vents are a common part that can be found at many motor factors. I got mine from Europa spares.

Not really sure if it's the same, but it looks like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DASH-AIR-VENT-OEM-1969-197...

The same one as is mounted in your dash, but with my car the vents are mounted in the small dash sides (wich are screwed against the side of the center of the dash)
Your vent holes are in a different place and appear to be smaller.

This is an image of my eyeball air vents, two on the top of the dashboard, and one on each side into the footwells.

Is that the same for the Series 1 Vixen? I don't have any at all on mine. The dashboard vents are different of course.
