vent cap for airconditoner hole

Hi everybody, I was wondering what is the size and best vent cap to cover the hole of the roof top air conditoner once Ipull it off?
To hold me over until I buy a new air conditioner, as of right now it is letting in the rain.
thanks G

a plastic garbage can lid has been used in a pinch for vent covers. see if you can find one to fit.

skylight

I took the old a/c off and cleaned up the hole and screwed and caulked a piece of plexiglass over the opening. Instant and cool skylight until we start doing longer hotter trips and get a new efficient unit.
