The Raven Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Anyone have a set and can make me a cardboard cut out of the vents please? I am thinking of cutting them into my stock wings but have no idea on thier size. Unless homer wants to sell me his:search: Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden1989 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 so you want someone to make a template of the triangular shape? doesnt sound too difficult, il have a go if you want, they might look rather odd on stock wings though, its quite a big vent (in my opinion of course) will make one today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 They look fine dude, I did the ones on Homers wings, you need to be careful what you use to cut them with, I used a 'nibbler' because it will hardly distort the surrounding metal, but you will need to have the wings resprayed after.

Dnk Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) I could but wont be able to till monday, if no else can help let me know and i'll sort out the template for you. Ive checked through all my pics and being on a Black car the cut outs dont show up well enough I found this pic on the web so as well as the triangle template youll need the measurements from the door edge and wing top Edited October 24, 2009 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Angle Grinder Thats funny in so many ways, its kind of an on going joke with me and col, if i cant use a grinder im not doing it:d Hence colin will be cutting them not me:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I would do it with a dremmel to be honest Might use an angle grinder for the big lines, just cut inside the final size and use dremmel & emery paper to get the exact size. What could possibly go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themodifiedkid Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Ive got this sussed..... I think Would be alot easier if someone does manage to get a template so I can get the exact size, So as said if anyone does get time to make up a rough template it would be gratefully recieved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Here you go (traced off the vent, the lines are a bit wavy on the corner as I had to draw them by hand/mouse ) I'll grab the other measurements tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themodifiedkid Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Here you go (traced off the vent, the lines are a bit wavy on the corner as I had to draw them by hand/mouse ) I'll grab the other measurements tomorrow Any chance you have managed to take down the other measurements. Edge of wing to edge of vent, and top of wing to top of vent. If you have had chance then I will guesstimate by eye Thanks matey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
