Stamping your own louves
mark chandler - 23/9/06 at 05:44 PM

Hi all,

Needed some louves in my bonnet so knocked up a stamper and bashed some in.

I simply made a stamp and die out of scrap, cut slots in the bonnet and hit it with a hammer.

I still need to clean the edges etc but its not that hard and very locost . Rescued attachment louves stamper small.JPG

Mark, that's brilliant.

I've been thinking how best to do this job for a while and I think you've beaten me to it. Can you post pictures and plans etc.... so that I can copy what you've done?

Thanks

nice!! go on, how did you make the stamper?

I also like the way tins of highly flammable liquids are kept right next to the exhaust
