i purchased this dash from mini spares

http://minispares.com/product/Classic/I ... /dash.aspx

but it does not come with the air vents - apparently they are no longer available

anyone know where i can get them?? perhaps there are vents from another car that will fit?

I will need all associated piping / fittings too

the holes appear to be 86mm wide

thanks, ryan

Are they really going to be for AIR? If not just put a couple of 4"speakers behind them (because the hole is too small to fit on the front of the dash). Now the hard part is finishing off the hole, but if you can find an old Morris Marina somewhere the gauge surrounds are a perfect fit :lol:

Way back when I had a woodgrain dash for my clubby and had the same problem. A trip to pick-a-part found the solution in an Escort. Naturally they didn't do anything more than cover the holes, but that was fine. I doubt you would find an Escort at a wreckers anymore but there is bound to be something that will do.

Wouldn't putting marina parts in it degrade your car. :lol:

Give John at Mini King a ring - if he hasn't turfed them while he is moving he had a crate full of them.
