Title: New defrost vents? Anyone got a source?
Post by: Mr Diesel on February 14, 2019, 08:11:55 pm
Looking for NEW defrost vents for my 1983 K30.

It is the part that fills the 3 defrost openings on the dash. Here is a link with picture of dash WITHOUT vents.

I found used ones on Ebay and new ones at USA1.

I could order the new ones from USA1, but I still can't find the shorter one for the farthest left portion of the dash. Each dash takes two full size ones and 1 short one, and I can't even find the short pieces used.

Anyone got a good source for the short defrost vents, or got any pictures of ones you fabricated?

The rectangular window at the left forward edge of the pad is the cutout for the VIN tag.  There is no insert for it.

Sweet! Thanks. For some reason I thought that section was supposed to have a plastic trim piece as well.
