Triumph TR6 - Air Gaspers

Does anyone have a source for the round Air Gaspers on the dash? Mine were replaced when the A/C was put in and now I'd like to have the stock ones. I don't see any in the usual places, TRF, MOSS, VB. Any ideas?

Don, I think he means the vents in the dash. JT, I think that those are NLS so look for some on Ebay or find a parts car somewhere.

On aircraft they are called "Gaspers" sorry, I'm a Flight Engineer...force of habit. Hows Round A/C vent? Come on, surely someone here has a "parts" car?
JT White

JT, I got some, but from Richard Crawford and he does not have anymore!!! I thought that I'd attempt to rebuild mine with the little fuzzy fabric thingies that restricted rotation, but discovered that the outer parts had been impact welded and sawing them open to address the wear parts would likely have destroyed the piece. Good luck!!

My wife always tells me,size isn't an issue

JT-How many do you need? I have 2 for the dash and 1 that goes below the dash? Some may have the same issue that Doug described with the fabric thingies. On the other hand, even fully open they circulate about as much air as a hamster with copd. I didn't even realize that I had them until a search for an empty container unearthed a treasure trove of stuff. Sometimes I feel like the ghost of Jacob Marley with a chain of old TR parts around my neck, destined to roam the earth until the parts find a home. Pictures on request.

Someone had put A/C in the car when new and the original style were removed..I wasn't even aware there were under dash ones but that would make sense since the IPB shows a hose with a splitter. I just want to get the car back towards original. LMK what you want for them, I'll take the two and the lower. Thanks
