1967 442 center dash vent

I’m looking for the plastic piece that slides into the back of the dash and holds the metal louvre in. Mine is broken off on one side, and won’t hold the louvre in place.

Good catch if you get one from oldaman without the any of the plastic housing cracked or missing. Years ago, I ended up plastic welding mine so it would work.

I'm still looking for 1967 442 center dash vent plastic piece. It's the square plastic piece (pictured)that fits behind the dash, that the metal diffuser fits into. Please let me know if you have one to sell.......Thanks

I ended up making mine. I took the vent out of this single slim line Vintage Air vent:

Red Venom Repros make a 67 Cutlass A/C delete plate

I cut out the delete plate to fit the V.A. vent diffuser.

the vent just snaps into the hole

Final product The radio mount bezel wasn't seated right, the new vent fits really well.

Thanks for the info. That's probably the route I'll go, if I can't find it.
