Has anyone done this kind of repair? Has anyone replaced the vents? If so, with what type? Did you have to retro-fit the new vent? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Dave

Dave.
Some parts are still available for the older vents.
The bend in the bracket can be corrected.
It was caused by forcing the vent to close harder than it should.
Can you post a photo?
