Well I had a doctor app today but he canceled it without me knowing so my day was freed up to do something else
I read quit a few threads where folks were burning their fingers trying to open/close this vent
I caught my brother in-law home and asked him if he had any 5/16 th threaded rod and he did. So I ask if he would mind drilling a hole for me since I still can't work with my left hand yet and he said he would help.
He drilled a hole for me after the tab on the vent was bent so the rod would go through it.
I added the rod tighten and added a piece of pecan wood I had cut years ago from the tornado damage we had (I never get rid of pecan wood)
Works well, easy mod and now waiting for a good day to try it out
