Default Center AC Vent on a 68

Can anyone tell me what the correct center AC vent is supposed to be on a 68 coupe? Mine has a single vent, but all the ones I see in pictures have dual center vents. Does anyone make repos, or can it be changed over to dual vents and still be correct? Thanks for any help. Also, is there any good way to fix a broken wiper bezel? It is cracked on both sides

Try www.paragon-corvette.com, they have a bunch of resto/reproduction parts, and are a quality outfit.

I am familiar with Paragon...and all the other vette supply houses. I dont see anything for the single center AC metal vent. Also, I havent come accross anyone who repos the wiper switch bezel (I think thats the correct term). It is above the gauge Bezel. Mine is cracked at both sides and I would like to try to make a good repair. Any suggestions would be great.

The center a/c vent for '68 is a single piece as you describe (and very hard--expensive-- to find), so hang on to the one you have. The wiper bezel that you have is also hard to find. You could try some JB weld, then file/grind down any excess and touch up paint. There is no real "stress" on this part, so JB weld should do the trick. G.
