Hi still welding and grinding away on my split. I need to ask if anyone can give me the positional measurements of the hot air vent which is buy the front foot wells.

Im sure for a 49 the hole is round with out a mesh. (please correct me if im wrong)

I need to know the diameter of the hole and its height and distance from the floorpan and bulkhead please.

Also are there any good websites for split reference pictures, im specifically looking at the metal work to see if i have everything correct. its the little details i need to check like the rubber trim clip on for the engine lid the sheet work inside the engine bay and certain profiles and angles inside the bonnet, sills, under wheel arches etc!!??

Went to stanford got a correct nov 49 speedo, ribbed semaphores and some front seat frames 😃 Still need a handbrake rod!!!
