    Default Mark III air intake cover

    I'm looking for a intake cover for a MarkIII, I guess the later Smiths used the same? If anybody has a spare they would like to sell drop me a line.

    The 'metal one" is S2A, and the hole in an S3 wing is too big be to covered with an S2A vent screen.

    Yes, it has to be a 2a.The inner flange takes a 4 1/2'' heater duct.The hole in the wing has yet to be cut. I've been avoiding that task,the thought of cutting into a perfectly good wing just doesnt sit right.

    That being the case, use a hole saw, slow.....very slow. You'll be fine.

    Not by me for certain. Maybe others can do it. I have 2 4 1/2" hole saws, and see no immediate need for one (let alone 2). If you promise to return it, I'll loan you one.

    Funny you should say that. I may actually have a late 2A skin with the hole already in it. Too cold and dark to check now. I'll look in the AM, if I don't get kicked out before then.
