Do the snap vents adapt well to the curved windshield? I have a bubble
windscreen. Also do they seal water out when you fly into rain?

SPRUCE sells "snap vents" which are inexpensive, easy to install and very
effective. Just cut 2 inch circular holes in lower corner of windshield
on each side, and snap them in with your fingers. Make sure to carefully
measure and mark exactly where you want them, and tape with masking tape
prior to cutting with a circular saw, perhaps using a bit of WD-40 spray
to keep plexiglass cool during cutting. These are easily adjustable in
flight or on the ground, to "air in", "air exhaust", or "off". You can't
beat the price @ $8.65 a pair.

Hello all,, Response was great.. I will go to Terrell soon,, and see Mr.
Hardin,, It is a relief that a coupe mechanic is so close by.. The trip
was fun,, a little tiring, but a fun adventure,, Other concern,, was oil
temp,, I landed one time and let oil cool down,, I have since found that
temp may have been o.k. for my setup,, One question,, There is a small
hole in the front right of nose bowl,, about 2-3 inches in diameter,, It
appears to be just about in line with oil tank,, It had a screen over it,,
Looked like screen that is used on a house window,, anyway,, it had been
completely covered with paint.. No air flow.. On my second day of flight,,
I removed screen,, to let air flow,, It seemed to lower oil temp.. Was
removing screen a good or bad thing to do?? Is hole suppose to help cool
oil tank? Thanks, John #93735
