Mark69 Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Come up on eBay quite regular, or try the tr shop they had a 6 in before Christmas which they were stripping for parts. Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pogo Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Try Carl at TR Trader - 0161 485 5005, he has lots of TR bits and is reasonably priced and helpful. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rod Thomason Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Hi Nigel Have you been fond any yet.I have some where are you Rod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jean Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Nigel, if you are not an originality fan leave them away as they only guide cold air into the footwell. I removed them years ago and only kept the vents on the dash for ventilation. It also makes work under dash much easier as the space is not obstructed by useless pipes.

tr6fan Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 I have some too if you are still looking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim D. Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Have always wondered whether there would be a benefit trying to connect them up to the hot air pipe that goes to the demister vents.. In the end I never feel hot in the car (I just open the window or drop the roof) but I do feel cold. And although the warm air from the bottom of the heater is good it would be good to have the choice to heat your feet and/or your face. Anyone done this? Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mike3739 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 I am sure somebody has done it Tim. Cheers Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And although the warm air from the bottom of the heater is good it would be good to have the choice to heat your feet and/or your face. Anyone done this? Tim Yes I do it regularly. Blank the front outlets on the heater box as they are the cold outlets and then using a plumbing waste "Y" pipe use the rear outlets to feed the screen and the eyeballs on the dash. Ideal for demisting side windows too. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim D. Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Great.. when you say Y pipe, what diameter do you use? Cheers Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerrytr5 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 The footwell & dash vents are connected with a 'Y' which you will be liberating for re-use to connect demister & dash vents. Works very well for side window demisting as Stuart mentioned. Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Great.. when you say Y pipe, what diameter do you use? Cheers Tim Standard plumbing white waste pipe cant remember the size but its very close to the normal flexible pipe ID Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tim D. Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 OK have picked up two 40 mm y pieces which look like yours for the princely sum of 3 quid for both.. Will play at the weekend. Cheers Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
