Lack of response could be because know one knows what part you are talking about.
There are a lot of different vents that have been used on RV-4's over the years. Since you call it a triangular vent, I assume it is some type of NACA vent, but that still doesn't narrow it down very much.
If you could post a picture it would probably help.....

Well you can't post a picture directly, but you can post a link to a picture that is hosted somewhere else on the net. It could even be something you find on google.

Btw I don't know what you mean either but will be happy to help with a bit more info. Most 4s use an NACA scoop which you can get from Vans.

Does it look like one of these?

Used to be available from Van's - search the options catalogue, or maybe Spruce catalogue?
