T350 plastic interior airvent

[THREEFISHORANGE]

One of the fins/ flap is broken on the plastic vent on drivers side footwell. What are they off as I want to get a new one.
Thanks.

Let me know if you find out, I snapped the spring back on mine so had to glue it in. Mine never opened though?

You could probably get one from a breakers like TVR Dean/Glen or Douglas Valley for a price!

Hi,

the vents are vom SPAL. Buy them from SPAL UK for a few Cents...delievery is cost more then the product itself.

SPAL are quoting me £14.30 + VAT and £5 for delivery. Not exactly a few cents, but not the end of the world.
I have contacted a distributor who might be able to get them slightly cheaper - I'll let you know when I hear from him.

Pretty sure I got told they were from a Fiat Punto

[Milky400]

could do with one for myself if its the same as the tuscan

These are what I'm trying to get hold of.


It has 3 pivotting bits and a bit of wire at the back to retain it. It's used in my Tamora in the footwell. These are not the same as the dashtop vents which only have 2 pivotting parts.

Can you get the rad Spal fans from this place too, if so, do they still incur the TVR tax?

Exactly the same person that quoted me at twice the price!

[Harrow_tam]

Now been quoted £6.48 each inc VAT by a distributor - much more satisfactory.
The distributor is Fereday Cars

He also does SPAL fans and I would imagine he doesn't do TVR tax.

Ok, so I have the replacements but how do you fit them?

The metal spring would need very strong and brave fingers to squeeze and place Ito the aperture?!

I have had some of the old ones out, i think you do just slide one side in and then spring the other wire in... Might need a fair amount of force!

Yes that's what I did, I also found that you can get a finger through the top slat opening to help. I did swear a bit and my fingers were a bit sore afterwards - but it's a TVR, all "simple" jobs are like that.
