Cabin Ventilation Eyelets

Postby Kristofer Duckett » Sun Jan 09, 2011 6:45 am

Has anyone changed the cabin vent eyelets at the top of the ccabin and on the sides with redoing the entire vent system? Can the eyeballs vents and the sad side vents be replaced easily and if so what types are best fo ventilation?

At some point in the distant past a previous owner of my airplane installed aluminum Wemac valves in N7702Y. A quick Google search located them at Chief, but lots of suppliers carry them. I'll leave it to an I/A to discuss the logging requirements.

We have a 61 250. We replaced the overhead vents with 90 degree vents from aircraft spruce. They have a 1" diamater hose which works well with the exsisting plumbing

They open and close, but do not swivel

No. The Twins have no ducting from the panel to the vents other than the plastic trim.
