Maybe I think a little odd ... why not just build your own vent ? Home
Depot sells wood suitable for slats (or at least they did, I bought some to
use as sides for a small drawer), although you might have to rip it to
width. It should be fairly simple to cut small trapezoidal pieces to go
between the slats and nail them into the opening. Paint the opening with
the spacers, and the slats, then toe-nail the slats in, and cover the
inside with screen. Not as easy as installing a pre-made vent, of course,
but shouldn't take too long.
