Thanks guys, i'll have a look there too, there's a new glue like liquid nails i'd have to find out the name of it but we use it for sticking down smoothedge when the floor is too hard to nail into, within 1/2 an hour we can stretch the carpet off it and it doesn't let go, i've used it on my reno and once something is glued with it you WON"T get it apart again.

How well does it go in a car that is in the carpark in 40Deg sun for 5 hours and windows sealed?

I can't see that being a problem as it sets extremely hard and grips like shit to a blanket, i'm more concerned about how the hell we will get them back off if we ever need to, better make sure we don't put them on the wrong way round or something stupid like that ::)

Hi Ed,

I'd still like to know if I can get demister vents for my EK.
I'm sure the guys on the FB-EK forum would be interested.

Cheers,
Graeme.

Graeme,

I've got a set of Master Ho's FE/FC repro demister vents in my EK wagon. They need a plate sikaflexed to them to mount, easy to cut out (could us the bum of an icecream container or a tupperware in a pinch). The plate also helps seal them to the dash vent cutout. They come very close to rubbing on the recirculating wiper arms, but just clear (at least in a wagon).

Cheers,
Harv

Thanks for clarifying the fit up to an FB/EK Harv. 

Any chance of a pic of that setup as over hte years I have had a lot of guys from FB/EK ask about them.

Graeme,  I have a set available  if you're interested.

Cheers

G'day Ed,

Sorry for the slow response... got home from work and am slowly working my way down the "to do" list.

The photos below show the repro demister vents fitted to an EK wagon. They are slightly too narrow for the dash slot, but that helps to shift them away from the wiper arm - as you can see in the photos, it's a tight fit but they (just!) clear with some judicious grinding on the drivers side.

The little plates that mount to the dash I made up from some gal sheet I had lying around... truth be known, you could almost use the bottom of an icecream container. The foam rubber helps it to seal. Both foam and rubber are Sikaflexed on.

The duct tape wrapped around the circular inlets is to adapt up to the dodgy blue pool hose... temporary until I find a decent source of long lengths of aluminium concertina hose.








Not a perfect bolt-up fit, but a lot easier than paying the $200-$400 per pair that original tin FB/EK vents pull on eBay.

Cheers,
Harv

Pretty sure i got the hose from either repco or rares aluminium style.

Thanks Pete. I can get the hose in 1' lengths (Fuelmiser 40mm outside diameter, part number PHD-40ML), but no longer in length. I called the Aussie Fuelmiser supplier, and they couldn't source me longer lengths. Might have to duct tape two together (can't look any worse than that blue pool hose  :-[.

Cheers,
Harv
