Screen
I'm sure it will survive quite a long time. I used a piece of stainless screen. I cut it just a hair bigger than the ID of the NACA tube. Push it in. It really grabs and stays put. The intake on the #1 baffle has a piece as well but it was just a square prosealed between the baffle and the vent flange.
I have a bunch of leftover window screen material, so used some of that for the fuel vents and was figuring I'd also use it for other vents and openings. It's some sort of fiberglass. Anybody know what the longevity of that stuff is like? Just wondering if I should find something else a little more substantial, or if this will hold up ok.
