I ran across these on ebay for 5 bucks plus shipping and figured I'd share the link; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Auto-RV-Air-Vent-Louver-Dash-Air-Conditioning-Heat-/120878305147?hash=item1c24e88f7b&item=120878305147&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr#ht_500wt_974 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Auto-RV-Air-Vent-Louver-Dash-Air-Conditioning-Heat-/120878305147?hash=item1c24e88f7b&item=120878305147&pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr#ht_500wt_974)

wow nice those are cheap, I wonder there is anything that can be used for a chrome ring
unless it's already the size of the vent hole
-
Tallon got a email from (I'll PM you the name) and he ordered 6 of them and I believe he is going to check on making rigs for them. However they should fit nicely without, modifications (other then the normal trimming to the dash)
-
I just figured since the murcie has chrome around them, otherwise they just look like diablo vents. Who knows they might still look good, I plan on an alcantara dash like the SV's interior.
-
Have you looked at the F-150 vents out of like a 08 they have chrome rings. A bit on the expensive side however, but look great!
-
Yea it looks like the vent kinda sets further in from the outer ring, little different. Yes I'm pretty picky haha
-
How about the Mustang A/C vents? Is $25 ea. too much? Buy the center section and get two. Would this work for you guys?

Updated link to the AC vents. These are the same exact dimensions as the others on in a black color instead of grey.

The seller doesn't mention anything about the swivel detent ring that the vent sets into. Any info on that? Here's a link to a Mazda dash air vent that has a silver trim ring on it. Jim

The trim rings I'm making will have a internal groove for the latches of the vent to slide in allowing it to swivel. A tiny bit of grease in the groove will let it slide nicely ;D
The Mazda vent appears to have three louvers instead of two...

It figures lol
and there's never pontiac solstice vents on ebay

I have these however if I would have known SchulzeA was working on them I would have waited. :'(

Forgot pic. ::duh

F-150? ::scratch

I realize you guys need the chrome ring for the Murci but here is an old post on KC. These are made by Prima.

Maybe these are Diablo vents? I don't think they are Murcielago vents. They are definitely not LP640 vents. Ours don't have the ::LAMBO2 symbol and they are not flat or inset, they have a round bevel outward. Even those Prima vents aren't an exact match for those Lamborghini vents pictured (the original is beveled inward). That said, we could use them in a pinch if we could get them in the U.S. from the manufacturer. I understand Prima Industries won't ship to the U.S. From what I understand, Euramtec is the U.S. distributor for Prima. Euramtec does not have an exact match for what we need.
This is close: http://www.euramtec.com/parts/e/e01/34011200.html (http://www.euramtec.com/parts/e/e01/34011200.html)

In both cases, we would still need a chrome trim ring to get it closer to OEM.
The Prima P.388 with chrome ring sure looks like our vent to me. Maybe someone outside the U.S. would be willing to get some for us poor outcasts in the U.S.? I have contacted Prima just in case I get lucky. Their contact page has a sales rep for North America. I'll report back here on what I find.
-
I've seen those P.388 but have not been able to find anyone that sells them here. Hopefully you will be successful. If you do find them I'm in for 4.

Get them from the cananda or California prevost bus parts supplier
The canada parts phone number is 1-800-463-8876, the part number is 830157.
There are different distributors throughout the U.S.
the California distributor The number is: (800) 421-9958.
-
Thanks Tusabes. I will call the California location tomorrow. Did you order these? What was the price? Do they come with the chrome trim? Do you have pictures you can post? Do you know of anything else this place has that is OEM for an LP640?
Mike

They don't have the chrome ring
The pictures are here

OK, those aren't the ones I am talking about then. I am talking about part P.388 which is shown in the Prima catalog http://www.primaindustries.it/en/products/air-diffusion-systems/p388 (http://www.primaindustries.it/en/products/air-diffusion-systems/p388) properly shaped with chrome trim and appear to actually be identical to the OEM Murcielago LP640 air diffuser/dash vent (see below).
I still can't figure out the exact part because I don't know what the "S" column means or what the "painted soft touch" finish is.
Edit: It looks like they are saying they don't have any stock with the silver ring so we would be forced to get 65032 which has a black ring. Maybe we could add a dress ring later? It looks like these come in 50 packs. We probably couldn't even get 10 guys interested could we?
-
If 10 builders went in together.. what would everyone's share be in USD?
Please make sure you figure in enough to cover shipping within the 48 states.
Chris

I'll get all the details and report back. I sure would like to have some of these myself. Too bad they won't sell the ones with silver outer rings. I'll ask anyway just in case.

Hi, for the 'S' column you need to reference P.47 , the 'spessore' is shown as the thickness of material it plugs into - they even show how to safely operate the vent.... ::tongue and I have attached a couple of pics of my vents which hopefully show the 'soft touch' finish which is like a velvety soft thin rubber coating , best description I can do at the moment.
I just got these recently with the connection fittings that fit on the back and and the AC cover panel - which for the price does indeed come leather covered.
Cheers

Wow, thank you String! I don't know your back-story but you seem to be an expert on OEM parts. You also seem to have access to a real Murcielago - is that right?
Based on the parts listed on that sheet, it sounds like we really need either:
part # 63832 with a mounting thickness of 10mm
part # 63842 with a mounting thickness of 2mm
Both are painted soft touch with bright silver rings.
From your pictures, it is hard to tell the mounting thickness we need because that area is obscured by the silver ring. It looks too big to be 2mm and too small to be 10mm. I am guessing 10mm. Can you tell which we actually need?
Unfortunately, these parts are marked as unavailable in the catalog. The closest part they have available is 65032 which doesn't have the soft touch black vents, has a black ring and has a mounting thickness of 10mm. Of course, even these say they must be purchased in quantity of 50.

Unfortunately, Prevost was a dead-end. I called the California number and was transferred to their parts desk in Illinois? The person I spoke with could not find any parts numbers I had. He said they only stocked parts that came on their motorhome vehicles. Still waiting to hear back on my e-mail to Prima Industries. I'll check with Euramtech next.
SchulzeA, what is the status of the chrome rings you were working on? Is this still going to happen?
-
I contacted Euramtech by e-mail inquiring specifically about part P.388 63832 and received this response: "From what I understand that vent is sold exclusively to Lamborghini, I'm unsure if we'd be able to get it."
They suggested an alternative part that wasn't close enough to the original. I responded by asking them to look into getting P.388 63832 anyway. I said if they couldn't get that part, I would be interested in P.388 65032 which appears to be the exact same part but with a black outer ring and should be available.
I will report back here on price and availability.
-
OK guys, I have some good news. I have confirmed with Euramtec they *CAN* get the OEM spec chrome ring vents! The model number is S-63832. ::headbang
The bad news is we have to order 50 in order to get them and we'd have to pay the entire order up-front. It would take 4-5 weeks for delivery from Italy. So if there is enough interest in them, I'd like to do this. The details:
- OEM Spec
- "Soft Touch" black finish
- Bright chrome outer ring
- Tighter tolerances than the regular vents for smooth operation
I am still confirming a couple of things but it looks like I could get them to you for $25 each including shipping or $90 including shipping for a set of four. I would have to ask for money in advance because I have to pay Euramtec in advance and I don't want to get stuck with a $1,000 order of vents I can't easily unload.
Heck, at that price even if you have already purchased vents, you may want some extras in case they break or wear out. I think I'll get some extras myself - I just don't need 46 extra ;).
Anyone interested?
-
So if the first four sets are spoken for, I'll commit for a set and only 45 more to go. I've seen these "commitment deals" go bad and the organizer get seriously burnt so please make sure you collect a large deposit from everyone once everyone has committed to all 50 sets and before you place an order. Even those with the best intentions change their minds once money is involved and it could be another 4 - 6 months before everything has been organized and a order placed then delivered.
Thanks,
Chris
-
Sorry if I was unclear. The minimum order is 50 vents (as opposed to sets). So I need 4 and you need 4 right? That leaves 42 available. Like I said, I won't mind if I have a couple left over for spares but I don't need this many extra. :)
-
are these vents as well for reventon??
if they are i will want some. U say its $25 US DOLLARS a vent rigth?
-
50 vents makes 12 sets of 4.
With 2 extra leftover
So he only needs 11 cars besides his to buy a set of 4

Well if they fit my reventon build count me in for one set.

I'm in for 2 sets (8 vents total) ::thumbup
You're the man ::salute

If we get enough people together i'll be in for a set also ::beers

im in 4 to sets 8 total ::wave

Yes, it looks like they will fit the Reventon ::thumbup (see pic below). It looks like they fit the Gallardo as well (those dashes have 5 vents). The price is $90 for a set of 4 because I can combine shipping.
Based on initial positive reaction, it looks like this is going to happen so I will open an official thread in the Parts for Sale section. Not sure if this should go in the OEM or replica for sale section though. It is the OEM manufacturer but it wasn't sold by Lamborghini. I think I'll put it under Replica even though it is the exact same part.
My plan is to make this group buy exclusive to lamboclone members but I may have to go to other forums if we don't have enough people here interested.
So it looks like we have 28 vents spoken for and only 22 left!
Mike
Edit: On second thought, these *ARE* being manufactured by the Original Equipment Manufacturer so I will list these as OEM.
