Ford Mustang 1967 Cowl Vent Repair

thingiverse

This is a repair job I did on my '67 Mustang. Note that you can buy very affordable metal repair kits that might be more suitable than what I used here. Since I don't have easy access to parts, they need to be shipped from the US to the UK. Anyway, if it's of interest to anyone, I'm sharing this model with them. The tube that goes up through a hole in the car has an outer diameter of 155mm (that's metric for me). This gives us some space around the outside so there are no fitting problems. On my car, the entire mount system for the vent was completely rusted out, and all the mounting bolts just fell off with a little prodding. When installing the new adapter ring, I used a generous amount of silicone sealant to prevent any water intrusion or buildup between the leftover metal and new plastic part.
