Poor mans air conditioning

Last night when I left the shop my Son Dan was working on installing a 32 Ford cowl vent into his Model A RPU. I see this morning he got it done and posted some pictures on another forum, so I stole them to post here.

The main reason he had to add this vent was because he is using an underdash master cylinder setup and had no way to easily check the fluid level or to fill it. He considered a Model A gas fill but that hole is very small. So this year at Turkey Run he picked up a complete cowl vent assembly from Brookville Roadster and got that installed last night.

These pictures should be pretty self explanatory but essentially he cut a square hole in his Model A cowl, trimmed lots of excess he didn't need on the 32 vent assembly, and welded it in. Once it was ground smooth it will need very little filler, if any, as it looks like he skipped around welding it and kept distortion to a minimum. Just thought if anyone was thinking of doing the same thing this might come in handy.
