Mick Day Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Pete I used chicken wire, available from any local DIY/hardwire shop. Cut it to size then paint it matt black with a Hammerite rattle can. Once dry use small wire ties to attach to the rear of the grill. PS: I see Yorkshire, South & Derbyshire, North meet at the Ladybower Inn. Maybe we should time another sh1t tour to coincide & also visit the cafe again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Mears Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Thanks that looks just right. I remember a guy at surrey used a shopping trolly side for a nice chrome finish 😬 Mick, why not, cowsh1t tour 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Halfords - in the chav section! You should find a range of mesh designs in silver or black and for sensible prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Campbell Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 A few years ago... I got mine (Al) from Wickes and sprayed it black with some fireplace paint I had left over....then cut it to size. http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-13mm-Galvanised-Mesh-Panel-600mmx900mm/p/187723 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I used ally mesh from b&q - still have enough left to make another !! I cut mine a bit bigger then folded it around the inner return edge of the nosecone. Etch primer and satin black. I fibre glassed a few metal rings to the nose and tywrapped it on. I've seen other ones attached to the rad bobbins to completely cover the rad. Regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
