SupraStar 3000 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I know its been discussed a million time before but does anyone know where I can buy good quality mesh with a VERY small diamond weave and whats the best material regarding erosion and rust. I need it for a Doluck bumper and the area required is quite large. Also, I don't have a intercooler, just the standard rad so need the mesh to hide the internals so the smaller the weave the better. All help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Yeh its that stuff you want thats used on Jags i think, ive seen it on here somewhere! Ill try find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Don't go too small, or you will start to affect airflow won't you ? A stainles steel mesh would work well, i can't remember where from though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickyboy Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hi mate, Apparently best stuff is from EPS design http://www.espdesign.co.uk/esp.storefront They will do a larger 60x10 sheet for £82 quid or something. Not sure how it compares to the stuff Envy sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Thanks guys I'll check your links out. Col, Doubt I'll have a problem as the mouth is so large on the Doluck compared to the standard bumper, even with a small weave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 The EPS stuff is great except the weave is to large (7mm) Found some black mesh here: http://www.needforspeed.co.uk/pages/sbv_pn.asp?PartNo=REZ-11973&LineNo=2841000 But is aluminium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 This is what I'm after: http://www.autodirectsave.com/images/Mesh_stainless_L.jpg EPS sell is (the jag stuff) but only the 1/4. I need the 3/16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter richards Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 3/16 is to small edd, how big is the gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 Heres the bumper, http://www.munkywurks.com/archives/do-lucksupra.jpg As you can see the air gap is very large and I think considering my cars a NA the small 3/16 will be enough. I really wouldn't want to see any rad or undertray through the mesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter richards Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 ive actualy fitted it in the gap i put an edging around it . if you go for the smaller mesh edd , it wont be very flexible , i had samples sent , and the small stuff is solid , and you cant cut it with snips either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
