I am told the warping occurs when the next coat of glass/ resin is too HOT.
When glassing gradually reduce the MEKP in the next layer to prevent bunching. IE, if you start with 2.5% MEKP the next layer should be 2%, then 1.5% etc. (or use .25's if you like). The main thing is not to increase the MEKP above what was used in previous layers.

Glass the brackets and screw or rivet the actual vents will be the way I go. In my case I want to be able to remove the vents for ease of service/ removal of brake lines going to the M/cyl and it's way easier for me to get to the solenoid wire through the vent hole.
