Default air deflector replacement

I'm looking for a replacement part for my '60 350z coupe - this past weekend a friend of mine, while getting into my z, somehow kicked the air deflector - the piece on the door that has the three fan 'blades' that allows the passenger to control the direction and amount of air flow from the door vent - and broke it. Of the three blades, the center one lost the tab that connects to the piece that keeps the three blades tilted at the same angle, and the left blade lost the bottom tab that keeps it in it's place. I am looking for a replacement part for either that whole end cap with the three blades, or even the individual blades if possible. I've done some searching on here and google, but haven't come up with the part name or where I can order it from. I was hoping someone here would be able to lead me in the right direction.


Thanks for any help!

Well best price would be great, but first and foremost I'm just trying to make sure I buy the right part. I ordered part #10 from 'buynissanparts.com', from the diagram below:




It was called 'trim cover right'. My order arrived today, however it was the wrong part.. it was the piece that holds the piece I need (the black curved piece that is also in the pic in my OP that extends towards the handle)

Looking at the site from the other thread you pointed out, I get this picture:



But I'm still confused about what I need to order?

I assume #80974 has the 3 blades.

That's the only other piece that I think could possibly be it. I'll give them a call during their business hours to confirm. Thanks for your help!

LOL that was going to be my first question.

My second question is how in the hell does somebody kick THAT part?

Ha! I didn't even notice my typo.. I was like "what the heck is he talking about?" And yes, I'm still trying to figure out how exactly my friend kicked it. I was in my garage, getting ready to back out; I insisted my friend wait until I got to the driveway for him to get in, but he attempted anyway, and that was the result
