    So, decided to use my centre vent as the model for the mould and rebuilt the missing plastic parts as well as repaired all the cracks.


    It sits much better in the centre console now.

  4. Wrong Coolant Hose

    It is best to keep the side scoop of the dash board removed so that you can make final adjustment to the dash board position until you are happy with the result.


    So, all the parts are now back in place.
