Regarding the question of what to do with the brackets for slats after you remove the slats, I plan on cutting the existing bracket down so it sticks out only about an inch or so. Then I am thinking of fabricating another set of brackets that would bolt to this "stub" and then to the slats, holding the slats in their original position. That way I can reinstall the slats if I want to (but not have the brackets sticking out as much). The reason for this is I am a CFI and some time in the future I was thinking about offering builders 701 dual before they did their test flights. I would start out with the slats off and then work the student up to the slats. However before I would offer dual in the 701 I would have to install dual brakes, get a waiver from the FAA for instructing in a homebuilt, have at least 50 hours in the airplane myself and make sure the insurance wouldn't go through the roof. So the instructing thing won't happen anytime soon.
Most vortex generators converts just cut the brackets off and use some kind of filler to cover up the opening in the leading edge.
