Brief Description:  Panel / Vent Brackets

At the lower corners of the panel there are a series of brackets that are used to secure the bottom of the panel in place, as well as support your chosen cockpit vents.

I chose to upgrade to the 1-3/4" aluminum eyeball vents from Steinair in lieu of the cheapo plastic vents (that leak) supplied with the kit. I also purchased some pre-fabbed brackets from Classic Aero to hold the vents.

Like everything else, quite a bit of drilling, reaming, contouring, etc. was required to get all this to come together correctly. The vent brackets had to be opened up a bit with the dremel and the panel corners had to be radiused much larger to accept these vents. All in all I am happy with the fit though.
