ooh, i'll try and pop in on way home, trouble is the halfords by me isn't that big and the chav section is very small, which is surprising
when you see the state of some of the corsa's, saxo's and punto's nearby!!

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

how much do you need? I got a roll of very fine stainless mesh in the garage

heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it breaks, hit them with it

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
