201Steve Posted February 6, 2023 Report Posted February 6, 2023 There is one on the right side, too. But the little flapper door is covering the square hole on that side.
carusoam Posted February 6, 2023 Report Posted February 6, 2023 Steve, Let me start the guessing… 1) Notice the square hole…? 2) I bet the bracket with a single screw holding it in place… 3) Rotate the bracket, to cover the hole… see if that answers any questions… or brings up more…? 4) Then take a pic of what is hiding down the square hole… 5) Kinda looks like and odd cover for the hole… Soooo… with a pair of them… It’s time to invite @M20Doc… (funky covers over square holes below the center stack) Good luck! Best regards, -a-

Rich, Now I have to go see if I have them too… I have the hot air that flows out the front…. I don’t know how the hot air gets there… contained in a hose, or free flowing in the empty volume… Best regards, -a- 1
Pinecone Posted February 6, 2023 Report Posted February 6, 2023 Hmm, interesting, I will have to look and see if I have them. And open them up. My feet get cold at altitude. 1
EricJ Posted February 6, 2023 Report Posted February 6, 2023 On my airplane there's not a lot of air that comes out of them, but it does seem to be sufficient to keep my feet warm when it's open. 1
trevttu76 Posted February 7, 2023 Report Posted February 7, 2023 There is an air mixing box behind the panel there; I don't have mine covered so it's visible. There are ports that dump air at your feet, and also send to the cabin.
haymak3r Posted February 7, 2023 Report Posted February 7, 2023 Wait. What is this? My feet get pretty cold as well at altitude. You're saying there is a potential vent down there somewhere on J models too?

N201MKTurbo Posted February 8, 2023 Report Posted February 8, 2023 BTW, close them to make your defrosters more effective. 2
Beard Posted February 13, 2023 Report Posted February 13, 2023 I have a 1984 J and took a picture of this same spot on my. You can see that it has an eyeball vent in that spot.
