Good Evening all and a Happy New Year!

Its been a while since I've been active on the forum - I've had a lot going on and time has been somewhat limited!

Getting a bit more of it now and so hopefully I can address the many messages and emails I've had regarding the vents over the last 12 months or so.

I'm out of stock and don't really have the time (or inclination) to 3D print vents but I can get some machined and sent out.

If there is still enough interest then I'll get another batch done - the cost is likely to have increased so I'll be getting a quote first off. I'm guessing around the £100 delivered mark, obviously the more people that are interested the cost should decrease.

Those who already have vents seem to be pleased with the quality and I've not heard of any failures so far!

If we could please try and keep any interest on this thread rather than PMs it will make it easier for me to keep track of things.

Cheers all Thumbs Up


Would you be prepared to share the models? Happy to pay some towards the IP... Interested in a set and have a nice 3D printer that could be much busier!

Thank you for the recommendations all!

I'm awaiting a quote from the original company that did the machining.
Once I've got that through I'll update with a price for the kit Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

I've had the quote back - the price has increased. The last batch was £70 + P&P.

I'd be able to get them out of the door for £85 + P&P

I could get the price down some more by having a double batch but that would require significant interest.

If you're all happy with the £85 + P&P price point then I'll go ahead with the order Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Is it worth a group buy setup to gauge interest? 1999 Defender TD5 110

I've setup a sign up thingy in the group buy section.

If you're keen for a new batch then please could you take the time to sign up to register interest. At the current uptake a new batch won't be feasible I'm afraid Sad 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon
