I am considering upgrading my cockpit vents from Van's provide units. There are a few to choose from but I wanted to get input from those who have been flying with them for several years.
I have a slightly customized installation and a direct drop in replacement for the stock plastic ones is the easiest solution. However I recall some have had issues with some of the replacement vents out there.
I am considering the following:
Stein's Vents (Small)
Stein's Vents (Large)
Affordable Panels (Direct replacement for Van's) Clear Anodized
Affordable Panels (Direct replacement for Van's) Black Anodized*
*This has a plastic mounting plate as I understand it
None of these vents are inexpensive and I don't want to go through the trouble of installing a product that will not hold up.
Any user feedback would be great.
