    Anyone in Australia sell black steel wing top vents?

    Like these

    Would like some for my Defender as my plastic ones are getting old and a little cracked... but so far have been unsuccessful in finding any local suppliers.

    M.R. auto at Redcliffe have said they are getting some made up but are unsure as to when they will be available....

    I could make you some but you would have to paint them yourself

    Couldnt you just buy the in the UK and get them shipped over? I get stuff sent over quite a lot. They dont weigh much so it wouldnt be that expensive.

    Cheers

    yeah, three times...

    he even rang me back once to say he found one and would send it, never did tho...

    will try him again i suppose if he is it.. much rather support an AU supplier if possible.

    rang and ordered in black, lets see if it lands this time ...

    What is the advantage of those apart from looking good? I've only ever seen one.

    At least in theory, the scoop uses ram effect to increase the air going through the heater. I suspect that in fact the intake is pretty much in a dead zone - compare, for example, the way water accumulates on the bonnet in rain (when driving) level with this, rather than being blown off. I would think the scoop needs to be several inches high to have much effect.
