Top Dash Vents

horacecopeMember

I enquired on here several months ago wanting to buy Pantera top dash vents as all the vendors were out of stock.

When none were forthcoming I looked at the possibility of getting some made. I couldn't justify the numbers for a production run from the plastic moulding manufacturers so I had some made using a 3D printer company. See attached photos but I think they're a very good match. A similar looking vent was used sourced from Car Builder Solutions and the circular washer was made in 3D. OD into the dash is the same as stock at 74mm. The 63mm heater tube can either slide on directly or the plastic can be cut for the original under dash pipes.

To keep the costs down I had to order 10. I have obviously kept 3 and another 3 have already been sold so I have 4 left if anyone needs them. £70 each plus shipping.

Cheers
Horace

Very nice Horace. I don't need a set myself, but thought I would comment. This is the first 3D printed stuff I have seen yet for the Pantera (maybe haven't been looking enough), and this is definitely the future for these parts that are difficult to get. Looks like a great business opportunity for a Pantera person with access to NOS parts, a scanner and good 3-D printer.
Cheers, Tim.

These are vents I 3-d printed. The screne mimics the screen used in the front and rear of the car.

I have 3d printed a number of parts. The mirrors I used were designed as fender mirrors and did not have the adjustment to be used as door mirrors so I printed basses which had the angle which would work:
