Cheap A/C heat vent's
BigPines:
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.
BigPines:
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?
BigPines:
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.

I am talking about part P.388 which is shown in the Prima catalog 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?

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
BigPines:
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.
