I'm trying to find a vent screw that will fit my 2019 Slingshot Wizard. It's good that both Slingshot Australia and America (hood river) have them available for sale on their websites 
(sarcasm). I found this alloy Chinook one on Surf Sail Australia's website. The description says it will fit a 10mm vent hole. I can't accurately measure the vent hole of my board as it's recessed into the deck, but the thread of my vent screw is either 10 or 11mm. (clarification on this would be appreciated). If it's 10mm does that mean the the board vent hole is also 10mm and the chinook screw will fit? I know this might sound like a stupid question as how does 10mm fit into 10mm but there might be some thing i'm not aware of re thread specs. Does anyone know? Also, are the Goretex ones on Simmer Style WA's Website ok for SS Wizards?
the vent screw pictured is for Cobra boards. The 2019 Slingshot Wizards with the black plastic vent plug w/ the flathead screw head are a different size (it is bigger). For 2020, Slingshot switched to Cobra style/sized vent screws.
Fanatic also uses this black plastic vent screw on their Sky Wing line of boards, so perhaps a Fanatic dealer will have these in stock.
I flew to Maui and forgot to pack the vent plug on my Sky Wing... very hard to find a replacement and just stuffed surf wax in the hole the first day. Luckily Kevin Ozee at Second Wind had a warranty board so I could get a donor vent screw.

Thanks. I think the ones Jesper at Simmer Style WA has fit. I'm waiting to hear back from him.
