no vents is 68 and 69... i believe. Change your thread title, and someone here may have one... (put your state -NSW- in the title too, helps!) you also need location/contact method. 🙂
Shouldnt cost you too much, depending on the condition. i got a 2 vent one for about $40.. a couple weeks back 🙂

the vents were put there for a reason
if you have a doghouse engine its gonna run hot with no vents

Thats why, as I'm putting the 2 vent on, Gonna run hoodjax. I will also get a no vent, and a 4 vent done when im having it painted. But Joel is right, most mech's say its bad to run the dog house fans without the 4 vent. more air, more cool 🙂

yea singleport/non doghouse engines are ok with no vents
if yours is a 70 then it would have 2 vents originally with a rain shield underneath
