Re: vent
Here is a pic of the front and back of them. I got this pair off CL for $15. They were rusty but a quick soak in Evapo-Rust took care of them. The seals are the worst part. They seem to dry out and rot over the course of 50 years...go figure! The vents are two pieces of metal riveted together. One side has an air deflector and the other has the anchor point for the open/close lever. You can buy just the seals from a number of places on the web.
These are fairly easy to find for a lot less than $50 ea.(used) so I personally would not recommend messing around making your own. That said it's always fun to give it a go if you have the time!
