Default Spec C owners - Please help

I'm thinking about cutting a hole in my roof to fit a genuine Spec C roof vent but before I do I want to know exactly where it should be and what is showing on the interior. Does it miss the interior light or replace it?

Could some kind soul get me a pic of the inside and a measurement from the top of the screen to the vent.

Thanks

Pretty "tasty" at DIY then Mac?!


Cutting holes in a roof has always been bad news, ever since those crummy 1980's sunroofs. IMHO...................don't do it!

If you must have a vent, one of the specialists sell a dummy version.

So if you fit a real one, will they not still ask the same question?
Don't fit one and they won't ask
