Spending some more time on this project and Ive noticed something. Are the 6 screws holding the pan/screen to the plastic vent the points of support? If so has anyone come up with a way to support the 3 parts to the vent to take the stress of those plastic screw tabs?
Ive got an idea to run some hanger strap from one bolt of the hood support bracket to the opposite side (in theory) would press up against the pans yet hide above the insulation pad. Another option I thought of would be to drill out those tabs all the way through and use 6 long decorative bolts to hold it all in place.
I`m working on getting some pics up, new phone, new number, lots of resetting passwords. F google.
