Defender air con vents

Hi all,
Can anyone advise me where to get some new air con vents for my 96 Fender, Ive got 2 that are shot (or shoot the designer of these fragile beauties).
Thanks

Any car air con place can get them, they are universal off the shelf bits.

If you can wait till tomorrow I'll post the part numbers up. The catalogue is in the truck.

Mal, I cant match anything up in my Heatcraft catalogue, sorry :(
I really thought I had in the past, they list several AMC ones, (AMC, now out of business originally designed and built the Defender system) but not the Defender ones.

I'll keep looking, but in the meantime try and find someone with an OEX catalogue, they may list something.

Hi Mal , I will be able to look in the OEX catalogue at work. I'm pretty sure I've seen them in there before but wont be able to post the part no. until I get home from work in a week .
Cheers James.

Genuine is HYM676 if you get really stuck.

They're around $30-35 each from LR.

Hey Mal , the OEX part number for the air con vent is LVX 036. It's 125mm long and 39mm wide.

made some phone calls and discovered that here in the west agents are cheaper than OEX huh!!! OE $37.66 OEX $43.63 all ex-east no real suprise there:o:o;)

LOL, that can happen.
When I first bought my Defender years ago, Timken wheel bearings were cheaper from a dealer than the bearing service, and I get trade pricing fro the bearing service !
