    Hi there, I have recently aquired a Trumph TAS 41 and am looking to buy Louvre dyes. I have spent the past week searching the net with no success. Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction???
    I will have to fabricate holders so would not matter what shaft they were.
    Any information would be greatly appreciated.
    regards
    Bob

    Google are usually quite clever with eccentric spellings, but I checked. It seems that, though they pick up that 'louvre' and 'louver' are alternative spellings for the same thing, they really consider 'die' and 'dye' to be different things. Try a search for 'louvre dies', which I submit is the correct spelling, though the supplier you thereby discover will doubtless spell the former bit 'louver'.

    Try Niel Dunder at www.gogitzit.com. He makes louver dies for all kinds of reciprocating machines. Quality is top notch!

    I know that Neil has been out of town, where his cell phone doesn't work. You might try calling him next week. I might see him tomorrow night and will try to remember to tell him you are trying to contact him.
     
  8. Bob. The best thing you can do is put a Fn v8 of some sort in that little piss anyt british sports car. Make it haul ass. Long roads suck with a 4 cyl. Louvers are the last thing to worry about. Grow a set. Cheers Bitch

    Perhaps not much help but I make mine. Its easy enough and I don't own a mill or any machines like that.
