Hi Bob. I just went through this on my rebuild and decided to not use them.
However, Larry Paulick did a nice job with his and if you look cafefully at
his articles on Tigers United, you can make out what he did. Apparently the
option did not include a trim and is just a cutaway that is sealed to the
wheel well and sloped to not pool water. Robin Young

Subject: Side vents
Dear List:
As I clean up the body on the Tiger (door dings, etc.,) and ready it for
paint, I am toying with the idea of installing LAT side vents.
Where do they go and what do they do. The red tiger on e-bay has a pair,
but they appear very high.
I figured I would install them just below the engine emblem, cut a hole in
the firewall behind the selenoid and run a closed tube to the vent behind
the kickplate in order to prevent water pooling inside the fender and behind
the interior kick plate.
This would provide some additional cooling to the engine compartment by
giving an exit at a very hot spot. If Wheatley or Traction Masters were
doing this in 1967 though, what would they have done.
Again, looking at the red Tiger on e-bay, I can't even figure out what those
vents are pulling from, if anything.
Thanks for any input.
