viking Posted September 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Lee do you want me to ask a few mates who might have some? What exactly is it you need and how many of them? yes please mate, its like ditchie says, x2 front x2 rear , 2 are flatter than the others hope you die from piles......... you can still get them from new....been on Rovers north (american website that imports parts) and they are charging ...wait for it....$415.00/vent.... ive had a phone around....no luck......what you might do is to buy a really cacky set rusted.....if the hinges and clips are ok..i can transfere them.....but i will braize them so you wont be able to galvinize them...and i will spray them with Galvafroid......or you can have them electroplated before i work on them.... i saw the ones at rovers north couldnt find any new, went over to land rover place over the road, he pretty much just laughed when i asked him. looked google images, every one i saw was one that had been on ebay in the past, there were even a couple that were advertised as MGB Healey 3000 Roof Vent.... AUSTIN A35 VAN SMOKERS HATCH AIR VENT...........BMC Works Austin Mini Rally Roof Vent . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222239877081?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT i also looked for second hand roofs, one sold a while ago for £90, but them foors will be few and far between i think. so it could be a case of keeping an eye out and getting what i can when i can cant believe ditchie has ****** my vents up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
