David - yes, I removed the finger-screw on the 2nd one after the first
self-destructed. I then filled the resulting holes in the mouldings -

As to the source of the eyeball vents, I was given a pair of eyeball
vents from another builder Peter Davis way back in 2008. I am not sure
if those are the ones I actually installed, as I also received a pair in
black plastic with a different mechanism from a kind PFA/LAA friend at
some time in the distant past. I think I still have the black ones
knocking about somewhere - would you care to have them if I can find
them?
Alternatively, look for a dashboard from a MkI Cortina!
