    AC Vent Direction Part

    I need to replace this plastic part used to direct the AC air in a 73 911E Targa. Is there any place I might order? Advice appreciated.

    I've been slowly working on 3D CAD on these parts for 3D printing. Looks like you need what I call the spreader bar. I think I've almost got that one ready.

    It most likely fell inside the blower housing as I have experienced in my cars. You can easily remove the vent and dig it out.

    They also are frequently broken, like the one I pictured from my car.

    Know you have sold the car but wonder if you printed any of these. Thanks again for your post about installing Griffiths AC. They were incredibly useful.

    Best,
