West Midlands............
How Very Dare You !!!!!!
They are all heathens, speak strangely and paint themselves blue.
I'm from Yorkshire - a proud nation up in the north of the country.
Loddy is a vernacular for filler - jollop, bondo, clart, etc

A proud nation, eh? Yorkshire must be England's version of Texas  .
Hmmm... I added three more words to my vocabulary today, loddy, jollop, and clart.  All evidently synonyms related to the building of airplanes. To an American ear you all speak strangely.   On the last night of a week-plus visit with those friends from Essington, Wolverhampton, and about 75% of the way through a large bottle of something that had leaked out of a distillery, I proudly announced that I'd learned a new language: English! (Who knew "fanny" wasn't a polite term...  )

Here is how I installed mine. At the time, I didn't even think about installing with just proseal, nothing wrong with that, just never crossed my mind. I used proseal and rivets. The rivets are probably overkill. The doubler strips are 0.40.
Just make sure install them so you can still get the rudder pedal assembly out! If they are too far aft you will have a problem.
I started by making a cutout template with a staight edge I could use for alignment. If someone want to borrow the template, just shoot me a PM with your address, just make sure I get it back.

Missing Instructions
Thanks for all the good suggestions posted here but I still wonder about the "official" Vans instructions. Should I assume that there are none for the NACA inlets since nobody has mentioned what page of the instructions or which drawing details it?

From memory, there are some drawings inside the vent kit and they are fairly sketchy as they apply to all models and positions (8 is under the wing).
Keep your entries smooth and don't panic, if you use Proseal or West, they won't fall off....

bug screen
One additional thing I did with the vents was to install a piece of screen over the interior end of the vent (before installing the scat tube.) If you have ever had a wasp sneak into your cockpit, you understand why!
It also keeps larger pests from finding a way in while the plane is parked.
