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
-
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.

Here's the font used on cams

yeah that's the kiddy, but the new ones are made in exactly the same way :daumenhoch:
-
Yep, they've remained the same :daumenhoch:
-
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
