What is a good vent plug and where to buy?
« on: April 21, 2016, 11:43:26 AM »
Several Zoners convinced me that I need to replace the vent I lost when I replaced the handle on my board.  Can anyone offer suggestions on which kind I should put in?  Where to buy one?

Hey Zoo, these guys are right down the street from me:

Their Factory - Goretex vent is about as good as it gets.  I installed one (retro-install) just a little while back without a hitch.

Zoo, try one of these:

Just make sure you get the one for after glass (retrofit) installation.  (What I like about the Greenlight version is it can be used before glass or after.)

Thanks, Bean.  I'm going to get one of those.  Love the fact that they are made especially for retrofit.
