    Title says it. I *can* fabricate one, just hoping there's a cheap alternative out there. I'll do a
    proper cowl vent repair next summer.

    Magnetic HVAC vent covers work pretty well in a pinch!

    There was a guy on ebay that made them for Mavericks/Comets. They were like a giant refrigerator magnet.

    I used magnetic material that sign businesses use. Easy to cut and last a while. Cheap too. Most sign shops have scraps of it laying around.

    Lowes carries the magnetic HVAC covers. 3 to a pack and easy to trim. Working great so far. Thanks for the idea, my fabrication would have been massively over-engineered.
