A'me grips

[mattfx81]

What is the difference between the newly manufactured A'me grips and the older productions? I've read somewhere that the moulds are the originals? Not had my hands on a pair to compare them.

Cheers

They're not bubble font on the AME like the originals, not sure about anything else

[pickle]

CAMS are made from the original moulds and have bubble fonts (as far as i know)

I have the new Tri and theyre not bad.

The main difference to me Matt, is the price.

A'me cams have a different font to 'bubble' or the new typeface.

[Jaan]

Here's the font used on cams

[pickle]

yeah that's the kiddy, but the new ones are made in exactly the same way 

[Jaan]

Yep, they've remained the same

I think Tri's and Rounds changed from bubble font around 87.

I emailed AME about that and they reckon it was early 90's that they changed the font.

Have you a contact name there Rob? I emailed them asking if they were remaking Duals, got no reply though.

Will have a butchers in the morning mate.  They said that none of the old moulds survived but that doesn't mean they won't do new ones
