Originally the Flying Cloud had a 110 volt fan over the stove, and a 110volt swamp cooler in the center vent hole. The renovation plan calls for replacing the stove vent fan with a 12volt motor, and the swamp cooler with a 12v Fantastic Fan.

The Fantastic Fan installed
Full open. Those are the solar panel electrical studs fore & aft

Finished installation using the original vent trim
I reused the original LeDuex knobs in place of the plastic knobs
I cut the shaft off the original knobs and used a set screw to secure
