G'day Holden Gurus
At the 9th FE-FC Nats in Qld, I spotted an accessory that I hadn't seen before... "VENTIES" a plastic, half-moon shaped shield that fitted over the corner of the quarter vents. I love them and I want some... and as long as I'm dreaming, I'll take them in green. The owner said I might get them thru either the Vic or NSW clubs, but neither Richard or Tony knew of anyone providing after market productions. Does anyone know where I might find some?
Cheers, Tim.
hi Tim,
You can get them from Johns Rod and custom supplies in Victoria.I got aset and put the guy in the photo onto the supplier.
Regards,
Graham ;)
Have you got a Picture of these Graham , Im curious what they look like a nd exactly where they go .
Thanks Graham, I checked out John's Rod & Custom Supplies at http://www.users.bigpond.com/hotrods.kustoms/catalogue/index.html but unfortunately amongst all the stuff they've got, there's no sign of venties. (Sorry no pic yet Slim). I will give them a call though, thanks for the tip. The FC at the Nats that had the venties was a two-tone green one, (same colour scheme as mine, but heavily modified), think it was Les? from your NSW club.
Cheers, Tim.
Hi guys,
I will post a photo probably on the weekend.John doesn't call them ventee's but he can get them.Just tell him they are wind deflectors for a quarter vent window,as what they do is redirrect the air from the vent window hitting you in the face and redirrecting it to the floor.
Regards,
Graham
Here is a picture of some, by the way if anyone does locate a supplier can you let me know,
regards mike.
Nice work Mike!
Thanks for tracking down a picture of those VENTEES for us... that's exactly what I want. When we locate a supplier, we'll let everyone know.
Much appreciated, Tim.
Hi Fellas.
