Do you have pics of the ones you want to replace? I have a set, but I'm not sure if I want to get rid of them. They are spares for my 76

Picture of ball vent attached*Still need them!

Hi CO,

Im still looking for those chrome vent ***** I have attached a picture for easy reference of what I am looking for….I see a lot of people viewed this thread but only a couple reply's. If anyone has a nice set of these chrome ball vents I would be interested in purchasing them for $30 a piece (Good Condition) but you pay for USPS shipping. Please let me know if anyone can help me out!

Thanks!

Hi Buddy,

You had mentioned you might have an extra set of these chrome round vent ***** just letting you know I posted a picture of what mine look like and hoping you maybe willing to sell your extra set if they are in good condition.\

Thanks Mike G

have you thought about having them rechromed? Probably a little more than 30 each to do, but they will look brand new...good luck...

Thanks for everyone's efforts!

I was able to get my hands on 2 of round chrome ball vents today that are in much better shape than the ones I had, but still looking for something in a little better condition. For now I will be installing the new used set I have but if someone has a set of NOS I would happy to make a deal.

BTW - To have old round ball vents re-chromed are $35 plus shipping and I heard from other people that the new plastic chrome re-plating will not hold up as well as the original coating, whether or not that is true I don't know?

Thanks again!!

Mike G
