Re: [VAC] 14x25 vent cap - making it

[Merry Watson]

Go for it Greg!  The ones available just don't fit like the old ones- the 14x14" ones. Nothing at a reasonable cost anyway. I bought the closest one to fit for $30.00 but had to remake it to fit my 72 Overlander. Anything that would fit and bolt on easily would be a boon to us all.
