aluminium dash vents

[marcus1970]

Hello all,

Want to replace all my dash vents for ally ones.

Does anyone do a straight swap cerebera ones, or can we use Tuscan/Chimaera/Griffith ones?

All info appreciated.

Cheers

I think this subject was raised before without a positive outcome. It might be worth proposing a 'group buy' and then approaching someone like Leven to make them.

It would certainly tart up the interior, but im guessing they wouldn't be cheap?

there are plenty of fabricators around.. the right look and design i would be interested.

[mr spectraflair]

I'd be interested too.

There's a chap I know who had some made up for his Ultima, they look remarkably similar to the Cerb ones, and he's going to lend them to me to see if they fit.

If it's a goer, i'll see if he'll make a batch up...

Any more info on this one?

Someone must know something.

Id be in a great dash and steering wheel ruined by a cheap plastic air vent?? let me know if a group buy is on!!

[dirty boy]

I've chased up Simon, am hoping they fit, would be an ideal solution.

Has anyone got aluminium buttons too? To replace the plastic ones for the windows/mirrors etc?

These look rather nice, not sure if they could be made to fit: http://www.steinair.com/eyeballvents.htm

I have a spare plastic vent for the steering wheel if anyone wants to buy it from me to use it as a starting point to base a design off.

I did look at making a metal version for the eyeball vent a few years ago, but it would have been too costly to get made up. I suffered that with the gear lever surrounds that I had made up and did not want to be bitten twice! Most people want to buy such items for a very low price and unfortunately its difficult to get companies to make them to a price which people are prepared to pay and still have a quality bit of kit.

Please send me an email if interested = [e-mail]

Mr Fix it, you have mail.

What I would like is something like this in aluminium:



The current design is so 1960's Cortina.

That's it!!

I quite like the eyeballs. Apart from the fact that the whole thing turns instead of just the knob. An ally version would be great.

That would do for the windscreen vents although I imagine replacing those would be a PITA

As soon as i've heard from Simon (he's probably somewhere hot and sunny) i'll quiz him over what can be done.

I am guessing that they are the same ones that are in the Sagaris but finished better. I know there will be drivers of Sags that will want some of those! Can you mail me if you get a solution?

[mikeinsheffield]

I'd be on for buying these vents
