Wing vents

[James Eastwood]

Hi there ladies and gents.

Might anyone know a suitable supplier of AC style wing vents.

Ideally in bare aluminium (rather than stainless) or possibly in fibre glass. Either to be assembled from the inside, or with a flange to be fitted from the outside. See pic.

There seem to be some from Cobra replica sites, but they tend to be stainless. I could fabricate some myself, which would look hand made and period, but I'm due to deliver the car for paint in a week's time.

Any help or opinion gladly received.

Thanks James

Hi James
AH Spares keep Austin Healey ones in stock which they manufacture in house, so might be worth a call to see if they could make some in the design you are looking for and in your time frame.

Hope this is of help.

Thanks Nick, good idea, I made some enquiries and think I've found some that might work.
