For those of you who used Aerosport overhead console and stein vents in it did you have any problem with access to install these vents after console is installed on cabin top through access panels or would it be better to have them in place prior to bonding to cabin top.

I made my own overhead console ..... without access panels. I just
finished mounting mine with screws through the cabin top and acorn nuts
to finish off screws. I don't like to install stuff where I can't
remove it for mods or servicing.
I cannot imagine the contortions you'll have to go through to work
through those access panels once the console is installed. My
recommendations would be to install everything before you bond it in
place. It's bad enough just bolting mine in place.

Yes, it's much easier to install them before bonding it to the cabin cover. Just make sure you get them on tight, as well as any other switches that may be forward of the front seat vents.

You can access all vents without issues in the Aerosport overhead console. The front vents are a little tougher to get to than the rear ones. That being said that is why we have access panels to allow easy access to anything under the overhead console.

Geoff is right.
I put Stein's Boeing eyeballs into Geoff's console and on a long flight I noticed that the one nearest me was a little loose so I removed the access panel and reached in and held it fast with my fingers whilst tightening it from the outside. IN FLIGHT. I located my GPS antennae above the panels and put my overhead light right in the panel itself, all for easy access. Never say never, but in my configuration, I can't conceive of a reason to ever have to remove the console which is good because I bonded it in place. There, I just jinxed myself.

I installed the SteinAir vents after the overhead console was bonded to the canopy and clear coated. Of course, the openings were cut to size beforehand.
I made a tool to tighten the nuts inside the console. I cut a 7/8" long piece of 2" PVC pipe, then drilled 2 small holes in the end of the PVC pipe that align with the spanner wrench slots in the air vent nut. Insert small finish nails in those hole in the pipe and you have a much better way to tight the nut. I also have a series of small holes around the perimeter of the PVC pipe so that I could insert a drift punch and use it as a lever to rotate and get the nut even tighter. I have installed and removed the air vents a couple times without a problem. Attached is a photo of the "tool".

Great tool! I think I will make a copy of it. I have a loose light the is forward of the air vent that I can't get to with the vent in the way.

I have cut the holes and fit vents...was just trying to decide if to install now before I bond or not. I tried to install with OH console clecoed in placed and seemed difficult which is why I posed question, but I think this tool is a great way to go. Thanks

Looks just like the tool I made/used!

I also installed the vents after the cabin top was installed.
