Default Fuel Tank Vent Fitting
Does anyone know of an after-market fuel vent fitting for mounting on the fuselage? I don't have access to a lathe and wouldn't mind paying to have a pair that were already turned down and cut at the prescribed angle.
I'm not really interested in the ones I've seen that are an aerodynamic shape.

Default Fuel Vents available
We have new fuel vents available......Check 'em out!
JDair.com

We designed and tested these to provide a slight positive pressure with the main vent, and a secondary vent in case of blockage.
