Title: LH cold air vent bracket
Post by: deathsled on April 30, 2024, 12:52:05 AM
I just bought an oem left hand cold air vent for the car. Looks to be in great shape. None was installed during assembly. I cannot seem to find the screw type to bolt the vent bracket to the underside of the dash. They sell the three nuts to attach it to the cowl but nothing for the bracket. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Talking about the pull knob bracket?  If so, it gets mounted using the same hardware as the parking brake assembly.

Yes, the pull knob. And thank you for that info.

For others the question is being asked about a 1966 so that others won't get confused  ;)

Just posted this picture for another question elsewhere this evening so it was handy  :)

The bracket in your picture looks different in that it only has one bolt holding it and also should it have the "C" stamped in the knob to be original. Here is one on ebay that has two bolt holes and no letter "C"

See attached, Jeff's image with some added info, the "C" knob is the CHOKE, the air Vent in his image is like the one you linked with the longer two-hole attachment tab  ;-)

Makes total sense. I was thinking the vent knob would have been on the left to be closer to the vent. I was vaguely aware that there is a manual choke knob which I figured would be marked "C" but didn't think that knob would be so close to the actual vent. So I was getting creative thinking maybe the "C" was for cold air. Like the engineer that designed the cybertruck, sometimes I don't live in reality. But I must admit that hunting down correct parts for the car is a lot if fun!
