[DeTomaso] ZF Inspection vs vent

I have had many colors over the years. It is truly hard to figger the best
one. I find it best to have many colors available so you can pick one that
will make you feel the best that day.

Hey Brent...
 
I never gave it much thought? I like most just spent the $20 buck, plug ed
the hole and was done with it. But if you feel the need to have the hole
breath just drill some hole in your plastic cover?
 
Mine is black what pretty color is yours?

Hi all,
I've been engaged in some lively discussions with a few fellow PCNC'ers
about the function of the hole in the ZF.  I think most of us (including me
and apparently our vendors) have assumed it is an inspection port, so we buy
these $20 pieces of plastic in a variety of pretty colors to cover that big
hole up lest we drop a wrench,  bottle cap,  valve cover nut or whatever
down in there to never be seen again. 

But there is counter-view, borne of a Mangusta owner,  that claims this hole
is actually an important VENT for the ZF, and that covering this hole
effectively reduces the airflow and builds up unwanted heat. Now, if you
know any Mangusta owners, then you know....well, let's not go there.  But
none-the-less, it seems a screen based device that both covers AND vents the
ZF would be the best of both possible worlds. 

Has anyone come up with such a device? Any thoughts on the above ranting?
