Ventilation

[Sunny43.5]

sorry about late reply always cut from outside we also use masking tape to stop any marks on paint work , we use an air chisel to cut a triangular hole first so we can then use the Shear both operations leave no filings

Thanks for all your advice Sunny. So does that mean that you can put your weight onto the ribbed sections to do this?

Hi Gold Coaster,

Here are the pictures, inside and out. You can pop one end up as shown or the whole hatch. They're is a fly screen that you can slid in place after popping up. The ventilation is just passive, but is most certainly adequate.





Hope this helps,

Cheers James

Hi James, hoping that can again provide me with some information. After the research that I did on this last year I ending putting into the 'too hard' basket but I've now got a second wind and would like to put in a hatch.

My question is regarding the size of the hatch. You said in a previous post that the hatch was 600 x 600 but when I look at the photo above I see that it fits neatly between two ridges on the roof. I just looked at the roof of my T4 (1996) and the is only a gap of approx. 430mm between ridges?

Would appreciate if you could double check the sizing of the hatch, thanks.

Is your van short or long wheel base ? my son's T4 has 5 blank sections the very front one over the drivers area then 3 more 450mls 500mls and 450mls the very last is where the high mount brake light is so 3 usable sections .

Hi Sunny43.5, mine is a SWB and looks the same as your son's so I went back out and measured again and you are absolutely correct but I think that you got the order mixed up. It should be 500 - 430 - 500.
The section that I'm looking at installing the hatch is the middle one of these, just behind the interior light, which is the smaller of the three.
Hadn't thought about a LWB. Thinking now that is why James's dad was able to fit a larger hatch in?

[Sunny43.5]

Yes guilty as charged sorry by the time I got back upstairs I forgot the order I am not 100 percent but I still think the spaces are still the same sizes just one more in LWB

Hi again Sunny, haven't heard back yet from James_d1, as yet.

At the moment the best that I have found in way of a hatch for ventilation has a cut out of 400 x 400 which is ok except that the outer top roof dimensions exceed the 430mm that I have between the roof supports (so won't lay flat).

Have you ever come across a hatch this fits between the ridges of a T4?
