need4speed Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Due to my old style bulkhead vent handles fouling my td5 wiper rack tube, ive tried to purchase a td5 dash plate and vent handles. Dorsetlrbreakers said they have some, however they look like pre-td5 ones to me? Didnt the td5 style handles have like a ball end on them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need4speed Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Ahh so earlier td5's didnt have them. Now im really confused. Basically my problem is this: im using td5 bulkhead with pre-td5 dash plate. Im finding that the dash vent handles are fouling against the intermediate wiper tube.

Maverik Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 The first few years of Td5's had a "conventional" dash arrangement it wasn't until the final years did the centre binnacle type come out... I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulnb57 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I managed to marry 300 tdi vents with a td5 bulkhead, with the old style levers, but used td5 wiper boxes and it all works well, if you go this route use Genuine wiper boxes, ****part strip easily......I vaguely remmeber massaging the shape of the intermediate tube, to get it to work, the tube is only a guide for the inner so a gentle bend does no harm....
