    Worth doing, even if you use a piece of alloy plate -

    Freeze the vent into a block of ice and you can drill it with ease.

    I have a Ali plate that holds three 52mm gauges for the center vents.

    Sat here doing nothing if any one wants it

    I just made one in MDF, sprayed in satin black, fits perfectly with the rest of the dashboard...

    Not the neatest job, but only took a couple of minutes so it does me.

    I pulled out the horizontal strips first with needle nose pliars. Dont loose the little clip that holds it in the dash, it falls out one you have broken some stuff off.

    Really? That was My firs idea too... But when I try - just broke around about 2-3 vents.
