I have my -8A engine control cables and panel installed and nearly all of the wiring run. However - in one of those "Life is hard, but it's a lot harder when you're stupid" revelations, I realized I haven't thought through the placement of the cooling vents for either the front or rear cockpits.

No room on the panel unless I remove a GTX-50 mounted on the lower left. Thought about fabricating a mounting flange on the left side, but it will interfere with Vans Sierra Hotel RV-8 throttle quandrant. Right side mount interfers with the switch panel. And all these woes are just the front cockpit!

Anyone have suggestions?

I have my front one on the far left sub-panel, to the left of the main panel. It sounds like you may already have something there.

For the rear, there is space provided on the seatbelt bracket that is located to the right of the rear stick . I made a closeout panel to close the floor around the stick but my vent is still mounted in the stock location.
