CrisisWolf Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 I'm looking to get some mesh for my V8 bonnet I am in the processes of cutting, trimming and fitting. I've done some googling and seen that most people to mesh it but not sure what size. Looking at black mesh and on eBay have seen: 8mm x 3mm Mesh: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110636675819?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT 16mm x 10mm Mesh: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110636677028?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT 9mm x 5mm Mesh: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110636677629?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I don't know if from the factory they can/do come with mesh (mine didn't) and what the usual size is. Any pointers? Otherwise I'll be drawing the above mesh sizes out on paper and seeing which looks right.
Terryathome Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Picked up a nice bit of annodised alloy mesh from B&Q if that helps you? Terry
CrisisWolf Posted October 19, 2014 Author Posted October 19, 2014 Any mesh in particular? I'll have a look. Will be the last thing I do. Still trimming at the moment!
Nicks100 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 They have a display/rack of different types of metal plate in the big warehouses and I think it is the finest gauge they do. It's malleable and easy to work with.
blue ass fly Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Alloy mesh from halfords is easy to form too Spray it satin black if you dont want it silver
SootySport Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 It's another job for me as well. I would go for mesh with the smallest holes to prevent stones damaging the radiator, as I have a nice new Polo Alloy jobbee now.
