72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hey all, Pretty much completed my wish wish less some specific pieces I am interested in obtaining. Right now I am in search of a lower chrome driver lap vent diverter for the housing. This is the one below the steering column. I have done some searching but can't come up with anything other than the passenger side lap vent chrome diverter. I have seen the driver side in chrome diverter in pic's of other 1st Gen Montes & want to add it. Anyone have an idea where I may be able to get it either aftermarket or OEM in excellent condition, please let me know. While the passenger side seems easy to obtain, the driver side is much harder to find. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealRed70 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Do you just need the vent louver for the vent itself, or the whole assembly? For a 1972 the vent louver should be black, not chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 I am looking for the vent louver in chrome. I am just dressing her up a little with the chrome louvers which I had installed on the passenger side lap vent. Also added the 1970 center A/C and dash side vents with shut offs as I like them better than the 72 design. Makes things look a little busier in the cabin.

72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 No wonder I couldn't find it! I had assumed the passenger & driver side were different. Live & learn. Thanx for helping me clarify that Dan. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealRed70 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I believe he is just interested in replacing the chrome louver part of the assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Yes, The chrome louver is what I am looking for. Now I will have to see how to replace when I go over and inspect lap vent more thoroughly. Really appreciate the help guys clearing this up for me.
