Steve,=0AAs Fred said, point it forward.- I too drill holes in the aft en
d in =0Acase of a bug hit, dirt from-muddy ground etc.- I set mine glas
sed to =0Athe aft bulkhead on the trigear or on one of the outboard floor s
upports in the =0Amono on the starboard side.- It is not wise to place th
e vent on the =0Acenterline for contaminates from the nose or main wheel an
d be clear of the =0Aexhaust.- 1/4 inch tube will work OK.=0A-=0AThe ob
ject is that the vent will positively vent and the holes in the rear =0Akee
p it from clogging or building too much pressure.=0A-=0ARegards,=0ABud Ye
