Hello Friends,

I am again searching for rare parts to pimp up my dashboard.

I am looking for
- alloy / aluminium LED holder / sockets (see picture)
and
- alloy / aluminium frames for the windscreen air vents (made by Leven)
The parts must be the same for Chimaera and Griffith.

Maybe someone knows where I can get theses parts, maybe second-hand.

Best regards from Germany (and sorry for any mistake in my writing).

Stefan,

These people in Peine just 200 miles south of you may still have some of the now discontinued Leven windscreen heater vent finishers?

Email them at: info@acs-pro.de

You may just find what you seek is a lot closer to you than you think wink

Thanks a lot for your advise but I contacted Eckhard from acs-pro before I posted my search here at Pistonheads.
Eckhard has run out of stock....

You may wish to try Autobarn Engineering - you can find them on Facebook. Leigh is doing a lot of TVR bling. He may well be interested in adding the vents to the 'stock'

Might be worth increasing the edge lip by a few mm to mitigate the poor trimming detail around the dash holes.

I was in talks about re-making a lot of the leven parts for one of the TVR specialists, but this is on hold currently.

biggest problem with re-making them, all all the design work needs to be done again, so unless someone wants to buy a lot and stock them or a group buy is organised, a single set would be very expensive.

but I'm happy to look into making stuff if there is demand, ideally would need at least 5 people before they can be made at a fair price, 20+ for a good price.

Sample of the Round and Square Bezels I've done for the wedge cars.
