Can a guy get new screen? I mean the type that's in it, not a piece cut out of my window at home. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | On my '38 the cowl vent screen is part of the vent itself. It raises and lowers with the vent. This pre-restoation picture shows it well.

Of course one with the skills and equipment can alter or fab about anything.
