Patrick,
I am not 100% sure, but it looks like Air Craft Spruce after it had those
air inlets discontinued last year, is offering them in this years catalog
again. Perhaps this might be a new design. ACS also offers for the first
time an "Air Inlet Repair Kit" P/N 05-01464 for US$10.95 and can be found on
the new catalog on page 191. The catalog states that "anyone who has
installed plastic adjustable air inlet kit may have experienced a failure of
the operation mechanism that opens and closes the inlet". Maybe this kit
will replace the mechanism and restore its functionality. I have not
physically seen this kit, but I wonder if this mechanism is better then the
original one. I take a guess that ACS may had to many complains and it
discontinued those last year till a better substitute could be offered.
Just my penny worth of thoughts
