Well I had a bit of spare time today, and after two trips up the high country I have noticed that the SR's let to much dust in so off to ARB for a new canopy vent

I hope this helps. . .

The first hole cut ( boy I hope this works !!! )

If you find that you need one , you might be able to to get an oval shape air filter element from Supercrap etc to mount underneath with a blank mounting plate???
That was how I was planning on doing mine but I havent needed to fit a vent as I remain dust free :D

How much coin for the canopy vent?

Could you put a small piece of filter media from a vacuum cleaner in between the canopy and the vent when it is fitted?

Pete,

Nice work, and Shane 8-)

Feel free to call when you're ready for rope. Might be worth popping and we'll see if we can get a front skid fitted up.

cheers, Jess

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAA. DUTE looks as happy as a pig in sh!t. Now I understand all the ute cleaning comments lately. In my opinion though, this sort of behaviour should be kept to Upper Jamieson Hut carpark :o ;) :lol:
