RA28 Window Louver | DIY | How To | UKAC

Due to the popularity of Sam's DIY ae86 window louvre project video he was asked by many if he would consider producing more for a range of cars. Unfortunately he is unable to take on these projects but did decide to take on this one with the help from a borrowed louvre with thanks to @shootall 👍

If you used a thinner steel bar clamped in your metal folder you could get the other bends without using the vice

[@gatodennis]

Genio

[@ShootAllBallers]

Brilliant skill involved in making that. Definitely try a silver one on the 86! Delorean vibes!

[@ukautocollective]

I have another design I'd like to try out on the 86 so bare aluminium maybe the route i take 😉👍

[@ShootAllBallers]

@@ukautocollective Clear anodised 😎

[@ukautocollective]

@@ShootAllBallers i love the idea of brushed aluminium with a satin clear 😁

[@ericwilkes238]

[@ericwilkes238]

What are the templates dementions top to bottom and sideto side.

My 93 nissan still has perhana louvres, but want to make one for my 79 beetle.

Beautiful work......are you still working on the world's biggest rubber band ball?

[@ukautocollective]

Lol. Thanks buddy. I'm not no, been a good few years since i added any 🙂

Old video I know, but I need to know how to get in touch, be interested in some commission work for one for my car

[@ukautocollective]

Unfortunately I don't have the time that I used to, so I don't build them atm. I have been asked before but I had to put it on hold. If I get back into producing them I'll be in contact 👍

Aluminum Alloy 3003 has manganese and is best for bending without cracking. Aluminum Alloy 5052 has magnesium and is more structurally solid but still good for bending .Aluminum Alloy 6061 has magnesium and silica and is most structurally solid but not as good for bending without heating. just a simple google search since buying some from my local hardware or big box home store and being frustrated after things broke and wasted time and money in the past.

How does it attach to the car top / bottom or slides

[@ukautocollective]

Just like the ae86 louvres, it uses a 1mm aluminium plate which secures under the seal. No adhesive is required.

[@why_wait]

@@ukautocollective so 2mm for the Louvre itself and 1mm for the tabs? Does the top not use double sided tape ?

[@willtell1862]

It's for a lexus gs300, 2006. I live in the UK, I can't manage to find one

[@ukautocollective]

Hi, I'm unaware of a company which produce a louvre for a gs. I don't tend to produce louvres for cars unless i have a template available such as the car. Your rear screen is bonded in so i would think an aluminium louvre wouldn't bond well to the glass due to the weight? A plastic/fibreglass would work better for you.

[@willtell1862]

@@ukautocollective yes I understand but I'm sure I would be able to get it fitted. I'll even get it of a window close to my shape what sell louvers but I don't no anything about back windiws

[@ukautocollective]

@@willtell1862 I've not made a louvre for a bonded window and wouldn't know how tbh. I've seen that they use double sided tape to secure the plastic type.

[@willtell1862]

Hi could you make me a rear louver please
