So I am "rebuilding" my vents in my 71 Cutlass Supreme. They are getting cleaned, dyed (SEM Color Coat) and then "re-chromed" around the edges by some guy who has never done this before (yes, me).

Problem is, one of my vents is missing its **** (officially called a "button" I think). I attached a pic below.

Does anyone know where I can get a new one of these? I'd even be willing to buy a whole vent assembly, but I can't find a repro for these things. Plus, the originals look worse than mine do.

Here is a book:

So you're telling me the best way to get one of these is make it...?

Ah heck, you're probably right. I think I am going to go order that book.

 

I've got several of those vents. Shoot me a pm with your address & I'll send you one with a nice button on it. If you like it, send me a little something for my time.
