Following on from the threads in general and Chim I rang those awfully nice people at Leven yesterday.
They do not have any Alloy face vent surrounds, or window switch covers for Griffs. Nor will they be getting any more in......
However if they were to get enough interest they would consider another run off. Their old supplier no longer does these. It is anticipated that as the new manufacturer will have to tool up for this it will be more expensive, and possibly means they will be made from a solid block, so could be a nice mod.
I volunteered to gauge response. So, does anyone else want to express their interest in either addition?
Names here or PM me.
Ta,
Bob.

Ok then I have been back onto Jules at Leven to answer some initial questions I have received.

1. They will look similar as the ones they used to supply.
2. They will be made from a solid aluminium billet. (Previous were pressed)
3. Chim ones dont fit as the Griff ones are more square in profile to the Chim ones which are more oblong.
4. Cost, before anyone else mentions it....Depends on interest, minimum required vents before the order gets sent out from Leven is 100 units, so 34 owners need to be interested x 3 vents = 102. At this level of production the 3 vents will cost between £85-£90 inc VAT and delivery, obviously the more the order is the less it will cost.

This looks like this may be the last chance to get these vent mods so don't miss out.
Bob.

Bob,

I'd be interested in both the vents (3 No.) and the window switches (2No.)

Thanks

Andy.

Going off topic, well, only slightly but would be interested in a handbrake surround!

You can get a long way with a can of silver paint. £4.99.

The windscreen vents will then reflect in your face almost as much as the pukka ally ones smile

Yep! I have a half-finished dash in figured ash if anyone's inerested?

In fact the reason I don't have ally knobs and buttons is that the black ones stand out better against an ally dash. Too much ally and it would be like sitting in a saucepan nuts

Dash vent, demister vents, mirror switch, boot tidy are all on the list for when I get around to it. Provided the cost was reasonable then I would.
