Xzener, I have an extra pair, but one of them is missing part of a corner at one end. I'll snap a pic later and PM you to see if you still want them. Since you just said you found one, maybe the other I have will work for you.

Are we talking the radio knob or the vent covers? I found the radio knob.

Sorry, the vent covers, forgot you needed a radio knob.

Yes, please send pictures... I'd like to add vent covers to my dash. It seems so unfinished as is. Thanks. Although, just read a description form MAMotorworks, these things are 14" long?? Perhaps they are not the correct size.

Those are exactly the same as I have for my 71.

Ok, wrong size then... Mine are 6-8" tops. Thanks for the offer though.

I might have one. I know I have an extra spring and several rods. Just need to make sure of the right rod.
I’ll check when I get home tonight.

You probably will have to cut down and weld the 14"ers. As I recall, my son had to do that with his fiberglass dash. |

If you have a spring that you know is original and correct, please post photos of it with a ruler in the Gallery here.
I remember someone was asking about the size recently and it would be nice for the info to be searchable in the Gallery.

Not the right rod but I do have a spring and a bunch of clips.

Looking for a set of vent covers. Cant bring myself to pay $75+ dollars in the classifieds. Oh, and $999 on eBay Oh, nevermind. My buddy said people do that so they don't have to pay eBay for the fee to bring down the advertisement. The actual price on eBay is $22 each, which makes more sense than $75 a pair.
|
I am also looking for a set of these for a 61. I'm willing to purchase the item and of course cover shipping. I have seen a few in classifieds but not sure if they would fit a 61 and the seller doesn't seem to reply to questions. Anyway I would love to get a set of these for a 61....please and thank you!

Reviving this thread with this.
Hopefully someone needs it.
Oh, and if a moderator sees this, all my other free stuff posted previously is gone.

rear seat back 74 ghia. Just cover the cost of shipping from Canada.
The carpet is in good shape the particle board in not. If I have to ship it I will remove the particle board (will have to break it to get it out) and can offer a full size tracing of it.

Anyone have a rear seat bottom metal brace? The part that goes over the tunnel? I need this to rebuild the seat bottom. Car is in India, so I cannot ship a part that big and I've not come across just this brace.
Am willing to buy. Shipping will only be to NC 28081 (I have a few parts stacked up at my in-laws and will forward to my India address once things open up).
Alternatively, a sketch with good dimensions would be just as good and I can have the part fabricated here. It seems pretty simple.
Thanks!
