Mesh for nosecone
nick-york - 2/10/17 at 07:50 AM

Hi I'm after some stainless steel mesh to go at the front of the nosecone .I've looked on eBay but all the stuff I've seen seems to be either a big sheet or too small ! It needs to be 9 inches x 18 inches .I don't want to join two small pieces together .If anybody knows where I can get some from then that would be great .the size of the holes in the mesh is not too important within reason .cheers

I had 10mm expanded mesh in mine. When I took it out it dropped my under bonnet temps. I don't know much but it was noticeable. I think 10mm mesh is just to small really.

Expanded mesh is crap for airflow. Woven mesh is OK. 10mm will be OK
