Smiths heater Parts

Anyone know if these plastic vent pulls are still available?

Thanks

Moss doesn't show them in their catalog, don't know about the others. I see them on eBay quite often. When I get home today I will rummage about, I might have an extra, useable set. Is this for show or go?

I bought a new pair on ebay a while back but still see them from the same dealer.

Please, can you send me the dealer info.

Thanks

Well, I'd like them to look as nice as possible!

I would if I remembered it. They were listed as early Land Rover which also had the Smiths round heater. Ebay seller also sold heater motors but none on ebay right now.

Try British Pacific and ask for the knobs to fit the Series II 1958-1963 round heater doors 1-800-554-4133

Also try the Land Rover forum

I couldn't find the knobs in a quick web search.


Here's an interesting article I found while searching:

Hi angelfj, your parts look like good candidates for urethane molding.

Here are a few sources for urethane supplies. BJB Enterprises are good and I am sure would be glad to help choose the best material. They also have dyes to color the parts. I have used them and have been very satisfied.

Pete: many thanks. This article is super. Maybe I'll try to fab my own core inmy "spare" time.

If you're not trying to win the Concours, those two look perfectly usable to me...
