Was wondering which eyeball vents from Stein are suited for the flange on the forward NACA vents on either side of the instrument panel. To use his I assume you make a 3 inch square plate to mount on the NACA vent flange and then drill appropriate size hole in plate to mount vent directly to said flange (no SCAT needed). SO should I get the 1.25 or 2 inch eyeballs?
Thanks

I had originally purchased the 1 3/4" Stein vents, made the flanges you mentioned. The 1 3/4" vents come with a duct that threads onto the vent and allows the scat tubing to attach to the vent (although the duct would not be used as the vent is mounted directly to the NASA flange). Using the duct is the only means to attach the vent to a flange (unless you can find a thin nut with the very fine threads that match the actual eyeball vent). I had machined the duct or cut off the last bit of the duct to use as a nut and mounted the make shift nut and vent to the flange.
We then decided to go with a carbon fiber panel and the above would not fit as the eyeball vent mounts into the carbon panel ( I sold the modified vents) .We purchased the smaller ones. I have not flown the A/C yet , hopefully soon, but I think I would prefer the 1 3/4" if I were to use the Van's panel, but I do believe the smaller ones would be easier to mount as the nut I had to fabricate comes with the smaller ones.

Why aren't you using the SV-6 vents that Vans sells? They look and work well
with no shortcommings as far as I know.

If Steins go on satisfactorily I'll save $50 for the pair.
