Roof Vent Position

[MaxiDave]

Can anyone tell me the correct position for an R3 roof vent.
A measurement from the top of screen to leading edge of vent would be great.

My vent does not match the curve of the roof correctly in any position so I can't
Just slide it forward and back until it fits.

Yep seen it in the R3 assembly manual, pm me your email if you want and I'll send you the PDF. However the only page I can see on the vent I've grabbed below...

Great info thanks @TB Rich

Roof Trap sounds very exotic.

Haha indeed!

If you're road using the car then rather than 1 large hole - I'd drill a bunch of smaller holes that you can insert grommets into. Obviously when you put the grommets in it - keeps the weather out.

I've got a pic somewhere of someone who's done it this way before, but not to hand as on phone atm.

Your a gent. I only ever planned on 1 or 2 small holes and I
Have a plan to keep the weather out.

Drilling a 5" hole in the roof skin of a car with no cage can
Only result in flex, little as it may be.
