Deck Ventilators - can't find right size!

Deck Ventilators - can\'t find right size!

I need to replace the 2 deck ventilators on my Fulmar. The problem is that the cut-outs are 70 mm (2 and 3/4 inch) but the smallest sizes I can find are 75mm (3 inches). I have looked at the Vetus, and Plastimo catalogues and at Ventilite vents.

I am reluctant to go down the difficult route of enlarging the existing holes especially as the Headlining has all been proessionally replaced during this re-fit.

Has anyone got any ideas or alternative suppliers.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Do they ? I could find a plastic vent on thier site which says it ahs a cut out of 10mm, but this is an obvious mistake and the correct figure obtained from another supplier is 100mm for that model. If you have a link to the page for this 70mm cut out model please send it - I would be very interested.

These appear to be Plastimo Dorades - at lesst they look like it. The Plastimo site indicates that the cut out is 75mm !! I assume the 70mm refers to the intake -- odd I agree, but the search goes on.

They do the ventilite ones, but too big I'm afraid! I am wondering if I can in some way replace teh top part with something bigger and use some sort of ordinary plastic plumbing pipe through the deck - but it is a bit desperate if I have to do that.
