if you look at the panel on the world's most perfect Tiger on my web site, R
estoration page, I installed 2 round eyeball vents on each side in 2001.
=C2-They work great.

It wouldn't stop me from flying, but something so obvious I would try seekin
g
legality sooner than later. A field approval shouldn't be hard if properly
documented. You even might be able to argue that it is a minor alteration.
You're just replacing one piece of non-structural, non-flight safety critica
l
piece of plastic with another, and it's just an air vent for people not
equipment cooling.
For my new panel, I've purchased anodized aluminum eyeball vents from Stein
Air,
probably similar to the ones from Vans. I just have to construct a fibergla
ss
piece to mate with the existing rectangular NACA inlet on one side and a 2 i
nch
SCAT tube on the other. Bob S suggested that a 2 inch vent may not suffice
on
really hot days. Since I'm not sure a 3" vent exists, I may experiment with
two
2" vents per side.
