Hi all

I want some louvres stamped into my GP side panel

Anyone know of a sheet metal workshop that could do this?

Something like this


Cheers

I have just had an aircraft fitter cut some dimple holes in a pair of panels , i am sure he could press some louvres for you ,

Send me a pm and i will have a word with him .

An alternative would be to cut out the area and weld in some louvres.
I was planning on doing this a few years ago with the panels from an old amplifier, but didnt get round to it.
Might be easier to find a decent welder and then fill in to make a smooth interface.

Dark arc engineering. He is spot on

I did exactly that with a pair of GP panels using the louvre tools in a fly press at AW Sheet Metal. The panels were subsequently painted up by KAS Racepaint but never used. They hang up in my garage.

I expect you want a photo of them now

YES PLEASE !

So with many thanks to WTN1 who provided me with a great set of panels, expertly ready louvred, here are the pics of them repainted. They’ve just had a few coats from a rattle can in the shed - I’m pleased with the results and after a few ride outs they’ll start to look worn like the rest of the scooter . It will be interesting to see what they contribute to cooling the long run temps

They look like they meant to be!!

Looking good!

Thinking about those panels now, they probably were originally from a UK ‘J’ registration 125 so that would have been the colour back then.

I’m pleased they’ve gone to a good home

The frame & enough to make up a complete project will be going up to York for my son in due course……
