Thank you all for your replies and for your help in sourcing the ally mesh. Our local motor factors had a piece 30 x 90cm in stock so, deep joy. Unfortunately, it was clear anodised and that has given me some grief but I have managed to weld one piece in, not that pretty but it won't fall out. This is for the air to exit the bonnet from the radiator. I hope the second piece goes as well.

I'll post the finished item(providing I manage not to blow a hole through it!) when complete.

That is going to look so good I might have to copy that.

Sorry Carl

Thank you Carl that's very kind of you. I'll let you have the patterns if they are any help to you.

Best wishes

John

that's the best close-up I could get (well, that's my story anyway tee hee!)

Yes I'm using TIG and had to try to sand off the anodising from the grille material before welding.
