Does anyone have the dimensions of the original horseshoe shaped vent from the side of a 1978 Westfalia? Or......does anyone have a source for a vent that fits? There are many plastic horseshoe vents online with the 3 holes....as needed....but I'm not so sure they're the correct exact size. I still have the cream colored inner pipe gasket that sits underneath it, so need an exact fit.
Thanks

This should be the one. I have not used this company before so no idea how good they are:

That looks to be made by BusOK, who have made some good stuff in the past.
