jd6 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Is the vent flap lever supposed to have a bend in it? if so what angle? Currently because mine is straight (see photo - apologies for quality) it won't allow the (new) kidney panel to be fitted. It looks like it has been bent at some point in the past. So, wondering what the original intent was - just to clear the panel or more. (Photo would be greatfully received) Thanks in advance Jules Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Carey Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Well chaps, I have a spare one (see attached) complete with knob. Sorry for the photo quality!! I bought it recently in error and it is available for £7 or so. I aid a fiver for it - the balance is just for postage etc. Paul Carey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PILKIE Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks for the deal Paul. Another original hard to find part fitted and working! It doesnt hurt when I pull on my knob any more! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Markus Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) In a horrifying motorsport incident some time ago I broke my knob. But, thanks to the kindly Dr Moss I have a new one and can now pull on it to my hearts content. Thank-you Dr Moss, my fingers are no longer afraid to go near my lever. Bliss!
