Rear Louvered Window

Post by **mearnsy** » 01 Dec 2008, 13:56

Im looking for a rear louvered shade for my t25, these were big in 70/80's and i believe Peet has one. Ive trid looking for Kamei ones but no good.

I suppose these are pretty rare huh?

I think they are old bay aged bus windows, slightly smaller than a t25 window.

Fine if your cutting a pannel van but to small for a swap.

What i am looking for is the black plastic unit that fits to the window, pretty cool looking.

And the reason they are rare is that they are made of a plastic that is made very brittle by uv light, I was lucky mine was stored in a garage for years!!
IF anyone has an idea how to make replicas they can borrow mine for sizes etc but it wont be cheap to make I reckon so long as it's someone trustworthy and it snot on ebay next week!!

Fibreglass would work out too heavy I think?

Peet, off on tangent now, whats the best, cheapest way of getting more power from my CT1600? Demanding job, 3 kids dont give me much time and you seem to know your stuff?
