Thanks Rick,
About the demister mounts. On my dash thier is one long groove for the
vents on each side so thier is no hole for the middle one, it just extends
through the gap. Does this mean I don't need a quick nut for it, or does it
need to span across the wood?
I found out that the Nocks sell the longer based Tenax stud for the middle
so I am ordering one Monday from them.
I'm a little pi$$ed as I scratched one of the windshield posts a little
while ago so it is going to have to be repainted.
