Hey all,
I am adding 2 additional dash vents and would like to keep them matching the ones provided from FFR with their AC/Heater kit. The other parts look to come from Coyote International but I'm struggling to find the exact part number or a place to buy them.
does anyone know where I can pick up a couple of the in dash vents(louvers) and the locking rings?
thanks!

I also added two dash vents and also couldn't find those exact ones. But I found Vintage Air 499193 Standard Series Louvers. What shows on the dash is exact. The mating piece on the back side is slightly different and doesn't require the spacer rings. Works fine with the same 2.5" ducts. All four visible in this pic during the build. You can't tell the difference.

It's fine. That A/C setup is never going to freeze you out. But it works and keeps the interior comfortable. The four on the dash is a major improvement over the two pointing down shown in the instructions IMO. Takes some work to sort out the ducting behind the dash. But it can be done.

I have ordered the Standard Series Louver vents from Summit and found them to be too shallow for my dash which is covered with vinyl and 1/8" volara padding. The louver vents that came with the FFR AC kit are perfect, but I can't find them anywhere. Does anyone have suggestions on what to do?
