Roof Vent

Post by MrAE86 »

Once upon a time I had a roof vent but travelling down the motorway it blew away and was never seen again!!! :shock:
Now what I'm really after is a replacement but I can't seem to find the right size. The hole size is 360mm X 360mm but all I seem to find are 280mm or 400mm, so can someone PLEASE point me in the way of somewhere I might get a replacement new or secondhand.

you wont get the 360 anymore, go with the 400, its only 1cm on each edge bigger, trim the hole!

If you have a Devon conversion be aware of the roof strengthening bars imbedded in the fibreglass (square box section actually) if you intend making the roof hole bigger.

If you never have a route planned ...how can you ever be lost?

I have replaced my plywood vent now with a nice new Fiamma roof vent.
The hole size for it is 390mmX390mm which is just enough to get it between the strengtheners. I can post some pics if anyone is interested?

I got a replacement for my original - I took it off and checked out the manufacturer - Elixir Industries in the US. Then I 'Googled' it and found a direct original replacement on Ebay for about £23. Fits great and looks ace as well now!!! :D
