I have done a little research on the Late Model A/C center dash vent. The chrome one above the radio. It appears to me that it is no longer available and is not being reproduced. I was thinking, since mine is sun baked and dried out and it is in very bad shape, it would not be a good candidate for repair. It could take me a day or two to make it look somewhat better! Maybe I should hunt a suitable aftermarket replacement or modify a '67-'68 Camaro part which is being reproduced and appears to be about the same size as the Corvair part. Are there any other ideas that another reader might share with me to help me decide what course of action I will take?

By the way, last week I asked for ideas about the Late Model aftermarket radio installation. I'm probably going to cut & weld my dash to level the aftermarket radio and close the bottom gap at the face plate. Thanks, Matt Nall for showing me the Forum photos of the dash welding modification. My old dash panel needed repainting anyway! I want to make sure that the finish is satin/matte/flat to reduce the sunlight glare.
