Hi heres something I wrote previously regarding westy high top vent replacement I think you should be alright with the fiamma

measuring mine I have a hole in the fibreglass of 430X430mm I was trying to find a replacement without going to the cost of gett.ing one from Gunzl I have measured several replacements as they all say 400X400 'standard aperture but the important bit is the overlap externally which annoyingly none of the websites seem to mention.

Omnivent translucent too small, externally it measures almost exactly 430mm. It's also flimsy and no rubber seal on top edge and only held on by sliding mechanism on right edge I am guessing it would flap and rattle with bumps. As the left edge is not secured at all, break in would be easy

Mini Heki s too small 400X430mm quite expensive, the Heki plus is vented version so I was told

MPK (MPK Dome from todds Leisure) they do one which will fit and over lap onto the fibreglass nicely, smoked glass, vented with concertina fly screen and black out blind the sealing inside edge was starting at about 430mm and went out another 10mm all round so it fits the hole perfectly. It has 2 handles on either side so it pushes up about 100mm. It's about £83. There was not much weather sealing around the edges particualrly the front lip, it relied on a hard plastic overlap to prevent water ingress I am guessing at speed rain would enter. I went for this one in the end as I had to plug the hole in my roof and I couldn't wait for a delivery from Germany. It can be done but its a faf.I had to fabricate 4 angle brackets to hold the outer shell to the wood surround Also inner will need some packing and drilling to add it to the wood surround (the two halves don't lock together.) I have added some weather seal strip to reduce the gaps. It doesn't look to bad TBH.

Fiamma outer sealing edge 453X453 inner 386X386mm this has an overlap of about 12mm on all sides , it has screw holes around the edge. I have offered it up and there isn't really sufficient to seal the edges and the interior panel is not sufficient to cover the hole in the interior panel
