Thank you for including that photo, Jim. Have known Dave's company for years, and it's nice to put a face with it. One more in the world around these crazy cars I very much would've liked to meet.

We only get so much time here, but it's clear Dave was one who used his well…

Dave was fast on the AX course too. And a top shelve carpenter. He built the shop.

RIP Dave. Sad news indeed. Many good memories hanging out at his shop over the years. Definitely in for a memorial drive. I'll find a way to have both of our Triad-muffled 914's there.

I picked up my Triad duel tip about three years ago love it. Now I’m going to run it until its rusty!


I refinished mine a few years back. Sandblasted the rust off and recoated it and ran it for a bunch more years until I eventually replaces it with one of Bens mufflers.

The triad is a great unit made with quality steel. Clean it and get it ceramic coated and will probably last longer then the rest of your car.

I'm sorry to hear of his passing. I knew he had been sick for years and had really scaled back the business, but its still sad when a true craftsman passes.

I was lucky to have met him when I was out that way several years ago. I bought his stock of transmission cores. He graciously gave us a tour of his shop and the grounds, it gave me something to aspire to. Loosing too many of us.

So sad RIP

Ordered mine in may 2020. Spoke with him on the phone and he said that it would take a bit longer than usual as he some problems with his health.
Told him to take his time ... he then sent me pictures of the progress every couple days ... (never asked for, he just did it). The triad arrived end of june in Belgium !!

Rest in peace Dave
