Replacing old plastic ventilation shutter

[jon howell]

Hi all,

Anyone know where to get a swing open ventilation shutter or alloy version to replace the plastic one i have on my 1978 R4L? Trying to get every bit of black plastic off of her. Found a grill and mirror now just this to do

Thanks

Jon

Scrapyard or if you are lucky and brave enough renault dealers... don't think there still something "generic" suitable...

Hi Jon you really need to be following me or at least this detail thread. I'm doing the same but a bit ahead of you

Oh yes just read it. Can you purchase an alloy version of my plastic grill?

I'm going to bite the bullet and drive to a few breakers in pas de Calais. It's only 5 mins to the euro tunnel from my house so easy enough.. I'm picking up a 1962 mobylette while km there

Hi Jon just home will send photos soon. If you do manage to find flaps I'd get a few because they are very sought after. I paid a fair penny for mine . Good luck with the mobylette they're great . Oh and if you find a brown gear knob I'd be interested!!
