    Vent hinge

    Anybody have (or know where our hosts keep, I'm not seeing it - and the whole mechanism is like $60!) that little triangular hinge part that mounts to the back (inside) of the vent? I'm missing one. I have the handle, index, and the pivot arm that goes out to the vent, just not the part that attaches it to the vent.

    Thanks,
    Shawn

    Solved

    Just made my own from some of that simpson strong-tie rafter/joist/post bracket material. Slightly thinner than the original, but plenty strong enough.

        Its amazing to me how many of us just resort to making parts instead of buying or hunting for them. I have found this to be the case more in the rover community, than in any other I roam around in. Of course with some parts, we have no choice but to make them these days!
