i got a set of dummy side vents and was looking at getting a friend of mine to make some up on his mill
 
was thinking of polished alloy ones or just out of steel and getting them chromed up
ill keep you boys informed on the outcome of how it goes

can i ask you blokes who have side vents a Q 
 
i just got a set   are these vents 2 piece  does the back of them where the lugs are on come away from the vent itself, or are they one piece  is there like a frame that sits inside the vent
been a while since i even seen dummy vents so not sure  if the lugs are moulded into the vent or if its a 2 piece 
 
cheers

I've seen both types with ford part numbers so I guess both types are genuine, not sure when they changed.  I much prefer the 1 piece cast.

There are four different types:

  • early one piece
  • two peice - inner pressed alloy panel ‘press riveted’ to outer cast alloy frame, attached to car with four studs on the outer frame
  • European two piece - as above but attached to car with two countersunk screws that go through both the inner pressed plate and the outer cast frame
  • later one piece pressed alloy attached with four plastic tabs
