    Hi Howard,

    I used to do a bit of pattern making years ago, I think the shrinkage allowance for whitemetal is 5%. It could well be that all my EMUs of SR type should have this 'wider' ventilator, including the Bulleid 2 HAPs.

     

    I think a lot more people follow the EMU topics than would be likely to buy vents, so the business model (excuse the pun) for this venture is not good! I have a suspicion that the Hornby Maunsell coaches have separately applied vents, so will look on Peter's Spares ebay shop. You did say those were correct, so that would be the ideal solution.

     

    All the best,

    I bought several Hornby Maunsells form a well known box shifter in Liverpool  - they were missing a few torpedo vents which had either fallen off or never inserted. I asked for replacements and they were duly sent - I may even have a spare one somewhere as they sent extras. So the answer is yes they are separate - the expensive solution is to source a few Maunsells and remove their vents - they would most likely just pop off...
