What size hole for the dash vents?

[Barreti]

Well, what it says on the tin really.
I'm having a play with a new dash for my Griff and have always hated the black plastic vents so would love to change them for the 'eyeball' type vents you chaps have.
Can someone tell me what size hole I need to have in the dash for them?

Oh, and if anyone reading this has spares they want to get rid of let me know, or I'll be getting a set from the breakers.

Thanks chaps from a grateful Griffith owner.

Mk1, MK2 or convertible dash?

I've got the convertible style dash and i'm happy to measure the fittings.

Oh, didn't know there was a difference Lucozade.
I'm actually after possibly using a couple of eyeball vents in a new dash for the Griff.
Are they physically different?

Since I'm replacing the much bigger square black plastic vents I suppose the bigger the better really

MK2 has got 2 dashboard configurations. The letterbox format or the convertible format.

Letterbox:


Convertible:


The convertible dash was fitted to some Targas too (I'm one of the lucky ones)

However It certainly looks like the same vents were used in both cases

Have you thought about the alloy vents from Leven for a Griff? This would get rid of the plastic but not need a completely new dash.

Thanks for the pictures Lucozade, and for your kind help.
It turns out its the MK1 vents I'm interested in. The allow round bullseye type ones.

My car did have the leven vent covers when I first got it, but they made the vents so chunky and in your face that I hated them and swapped them for a plain black set.
