We are in the process of re-assembling a 70 Challenger R/T project that a mate of mine has had for several years. Paint etc all done and now we're getting into the interior. As is usual with a lot of these things we're having a bit of trouble making sure we have the correct parts for re-assembly. Cutting to the chase, about 2 years ago we got a reco dash pad through AZ Nick on this site. The problem is that the AC Vents dont line up with the vent holes in the dash pad (yes we definately ordered an A/C one). The holes in the dash are pretty much symetrical and the same size as each other, however, the vent tubes themselves are not symetrical (one is bigger (longer) than the other) and therefore dont line up. On checking e-bay it appears we have the correct vent tubes - like this one Ebay Link Are we missing something here? It looks like there should be something in the dash itself to attach to the tubes (like an air grille). All help appreciated! Last edited by MisterBee; 08/29/10 06:48 PM.

(Certainly different to Aussie Cars!!!) Cheers for your help!
