328 Dash Vents

Mine is still in my car! I'll happily send it in November, if I can have it back by next May

I'll call and ask Bill Pollard if he has one, if you like. Just PM me.

 

Did you start more than one thread?

I thought I answered to check with jim400i....

 

I blew all of mine out the door to f-chatters. All I have left is a trim ring. You can have this if needed.

Always getting new stuff in though...

Sorry Duane I missed your post... I had a broken one is all. Jim400i set me up
with a new one (looked for 2 years!) a few months back.

If it can be made for a reasonable cost, this is a part that I'm sure a lot of
Ferrari owners could use. I believe Tillman was looking for one as well... no
idea if he ever found it.

Where did you find 'em? Do they have any more?

 

Thanks, Duane: please keep us in the loop. If your source needs pre-orders or deposits to make it happen, I'm in (and more than a few others, I suspect.)

 

TRutlands has these listed. Expensive ~$100 each but seeems they have them.

 

Sorry, I guess I shouldn't believe everything I see. Yet, every time I ordered online things listed on the website they came in the mail. Everything I called about they were out of. Wierd?

 

I have a NOS one that Ricambi sent me awhile ago. Just took a look at it this AM after receiving eMAIL from GatorFL.

I see no problem in reproducing them other than time to make the necessary molds.

I'm wondering what usually gets broken on these. Suspicion is it's the little linking bar that connects the 2 louvers together. If that's the case, I could supply it as a much lower cost repair solution than a new assembly with reproductions of all 4 pieces.

I might even be able to supply an 'unbreakable' link bar made of metal, but haven't really researched what would be required.

 

On mine, it's the little tabs that the louvers pivot on that have failed.

 

Seems there arelots for sale on ebay. Search Ferrari Air then go thru the many listings. New and used.

 

Plenty for 308s, none for 328s

 

Listed as same part number on the sites Trutlands and Ferrparts:

60054301
DASH CTR.ROUND VENT QV, 308, 328, 288 1976 on

 

If i am not mistaken, that is the under dash heater vent

 

JUst went by the picture item#19 arrow to top dash three vents. Not being argumentative, just telling what I saw I will post the link:

You're quite right: on the 308 the upper and lower vents are interchangable. Different vent on the 328; folds completely flat to the dash. No raised, beveled ring.

That said, I wonder if 308 vents will work in a 328, even if they don't look 100% original?

 

Now I wil really mess with your head. Check ou on ebay search Euramtek. They have window switches, dash vents, lighter units all for under $10.00. Have fun.

 

Man, you sure love throwing me a mental hotfoot

 

Wish I could take credit but truth be told Paul just turned me on to the ebay stuff. There is a thread on window switches that I found out about this stuff. But hell I find the search for gold almost as much fun as the treasure itself. Best of luck.
It is odd that they list the 328,308 and 288 all having the same. Not sure about bevel etc. though.

 

Yeah, they actually look quite a bit different when you see them side by side.

Dimensionally, looks like that Euramtec vent just might work. Did you order one? If not, i'll take one for the team and get some.
