Can anyone tell me were I could source a new drivers tunnel air vent for my 92 Griffith. It appears to be made by marbett but the UK suppliers - Oadby Plastics no longer seem to know of its existence. I need to find one as the wife wants her duster back which is currently stuck up the vent!!

Rolfe,
Do you mean the one under the dash with (circular with 2 flaps - she sounds familiar!).
I've seen the same vent in a mates Elise and they were fairly common with 70's Italian exotica. You could try one of the companies specialising in parts for these car, there used to be one in Chelmsford, Essex, Euro something about £20 IIRC, If I can find some contact info I'll get back to you.

I need one as well for my 92 Griff, so let me know if you find a supplier.

Hello again Rolfe,
The company that supplied the vents I mentioned are Eurospares, Tel: 01787 472867. I don't have the part no's but the vents I ordered were for a 1988 Lamborghini Countach and are best desribed as the circular dash top vents.
Hope they are still in business!
good lick
David

If you can't get the flat ones I wonder if the 'eyeball' type with the twist knob in the middle(as fitted to 1970's Triumphs) might be used instead? In fact, haven't I seen these in Tasmins...??
