280 vs 240 louvers

Ken-

I hope this helps with your decision. Keep us posted.

Mitchell, where did you acquire your louvers, and how much?

Are they the ones with curved edges by any chance? Looking forward to the photos!

MSA sells a set that's got the curved corners that mount without drilling holes. I have a set I'm not using.

Found the original larger curved types that required rilling that I like better. Remember, holes can be filled and painted over...

Oiluj, thanks for the info - I'll try back with MSA.....unless you might want to sell yours?

I checked MSA's website and the small B&W pictures don't show enough to tell what they look like. They just say that they sell aluminum and ABS louvers and that they don't require drilling. The ABS ones do appear to be rounded rather than angular and it also appears that they sit on the glass like the angular ones. They certainly aren't cheap at over $260.

I got (IMO) real lucky and found the louvers on ebay about 3 weeks ago. The PO never installed them, they were in the original box and I got them with a BIN for $140.00 and 35.00 ship. One of the best buys I have purchased on ebay for my '72, finally I didn't get screwed.

The louvers are hinged.

Yeah, I will have to call them back, years ago anytime you called MSA they were VERY knowledgeable, the other day the guy seemed to flounder. Maybe I just need to ask for some familiar with the various louvers they sell.
