Default Another Possible Solution for Cracked Dash Vents

I've been fortunate enough not to have encountered any cracked vents myself, but I ran across this post in a vintage motorcycle Facebook group and thought it might be worth trying for those of you needing to replace cracked pieces:

The only catch seems to be a good donor part would be needed for a mold to be made. The post doesn't say what pricing would be, but I imagine it's a whole lot cheaper than buying an entire dash assembly from Jaguar. A group buy would probably also bring prices down quite a bit once molds are made.

Anyway, hope this is of use to some of you.

Sometime ago there was a Forum member who either located a 3D printer or 3D printed the vents and wrote up that ability and made them available to those that wanted to purchase them.

Very nice find - this guy appears to be able to do all sorts of things! I'm going to save his details for sure
