Hi 

Another vent-solution is: 

http://www.vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi?ident=1100255193-60-78&b
rowse=heatvent&product=ventilation-components

The can be bought at Spruce but slightly more expensive.

I have seen the installation on a RV4 and look very good. OK not as low
drag as the NACA so you have to accept 0.01 knots penalty.

Hi Steve:

The NACA vent supplied by Europe have been discontinued. These were one
of a 
handful of parts the were backorder on my original shipment. 

I can tell you the consensus is the they are pretty much garbage.  In
fact 
many builders have offered to send me their vents gratis!  Usually a
very bad 
sign...

My understanding is that Spruce has these vents if you are dead set at
repair 
and not replacement.  Best to buy a few. They break often.
