Relocation of fresh air vent on panel

[Bill Whitefield]

I will be building a new panel in the near future. At the present time I have one vent in the upper left side of the panel. I would like to relocate this vent to the underside of the panel to free up space. Any recommendations on vents and locations would be greatly appreciated.

Definitely will have to think outside the box to make it work without being in the way. I built a bracket that holds my cabin heat/alt air/oil cooler attaching to the line of screws on the throttle bracket assembly. There would be enough room for it there I think with your own mount.

Yep, putting the vent on the panel wing takes up a lot of valuable real-estate.

On both RV-8 builds the pilot vent is on a bracket below the bottom of the panel, tucked in on the left.
