Cold air internal flap and mechanism

[user 28582]

Hi everyone,

I’ve changed my front panel and the original one had the cold air vent sealed up and no cold air flap.
Does anyone know where I can source one from?
I’ll need everything to connect it up to dash.

Other than the dash control knobs themselves I am not aware of any aftermarket suppliers of the rest of the gubbins i.e. you'll have to source them from a body cut or something (why can't I remember the word for a company that sells O.G. panels/cuts/shells?!)

Sometimes it’s worth having a look at fbivw.com, partsemporium.co.uk or some of the eBay sellers that sell cuts from buses. Bit of a hunting trawl. But when my bus was being renovated I picked up an original engine bay lid cheaply (£30) and a ‘nearly complete’ whole front cab section from an early bay cut. Seat housings, floor, wheel arches, door columns. Won it on eBay for £50. Got it delivered by Shiply for £90. Great find. There are problems and having luck hunting around. But sometimes it’s worthwhile.

Thanks Guys.

I’ve managed to source the flaps but I didn’t realise there is a load of other bits that are missing so now on the hunt for more!
