but be warned it bites!, fookin stuff rips my hands to bits every time I go near it LOL
looking for some very small/fine mesh to cover some outlet vents up on body work. The race regs say max 1mm holes, anyone got a link to a supplier??
halfords do some very very fine aluminium mesh with their fibreglass section. don't know if its 'too fine' though

just looked ta link that could be ideal, is it rigid at all??
nah, not that section, its along with the body repair, fillers, fibreglass, sandpaper etc. £1.89 for a bit 25x20cm apparently, but its VERY fine
its aluminium, how ridgid is aluminium wire? lol not particularly, but best way is to get in and see it

Not at all rigid, won't do for vent holes unless they are very very small, it's for strengthening body repairs where filler is used etc
HTH
Stott
how much do you need? I got a roll of very fine stainless mesh in the garage

I will have a measure up tonight and get back to you, pretty sure theres enough there to do that, but best to measure it, will post a pic up close with regards to mesh size as well

b and q do a large range of meshes in lots of sizes
ok got pics just trying to work out a way to put them up on here?
will try a photobucket link?
anyway the bit I have left isnt perfectly rectangular, but the smallest dimensions would give you a piece 102cm x 42cm
thats plenty by my reckoning, gives you room to get rid of the edges that are there and get nice new clean edges etc
its also stainless so no worries about rusting and loss of airflow
no idea what its worth, but make me an offer for it posted, unless you got some ford wheel nuts for alloy wheels kicking about need 10 for the back
end of my trike
please excuse the plastic verynears, was the closest thing to hand, and as I use them for measuring when Im reloading, plastic is safer than metal
when I have a bench ful of ammunition and gunpowder LOL
I did change it back to 40thou ie 1mm. the actual hole is deffo less than 1mm, I would say that the external of the squares is 1mm, holes probably
0.6mm square
I will take it to work with me tomoro, if its any good drop me an email as I struggle to view this site at work, and then I can get it posted, should
have it for the weekend then
