Mark: I'm thinking that's where the wiper switch goes, if your refering to the open area in the pic. Above that is the air/heat vents.

G'day Davey G,
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I was refering to the open area in the pic. I thought there should have been some vents there, just needed to be sure.

Does anyne know if they are still available as mine are totally missing including the ducting from my 69 vert no a/c? Or does anyone have the missing parts for sale?


Mark

My 68 has a small vent outlet with a deflector to blow air on the gauges poking through that hole. I always thought it was to stop them fogging up.
