Nosecone Grill
How do you guys fit the mesh to the nose? Is it bonded on with silicone? Is it screwed into blocks? Have my mesh, but no solid clue what to do, I
have a few ideas, but just wondered what everyone else has done?
Cheers
Nick

I used some sikaflex to bond 4 peices of wood to inside of the nosecone, and then screwed the grill to the wood, there are some photos in my archive.

Hi Nick,
I used the off-cuts from the rear wheel cut-outs in the body. I used the 90 degree angle in one of the off-cuts to make 5 angle brackets. I glued
these into the inside lips of the cone with epoxy resin and then, once set, overlaid the grille from the inside and marked the bolt positions on the
brackets. I then drilled the brackets and fitted rivnuts, and then bolted the grille in with ally bolts

I bent mine around the inside of the nose cone, and used PU adhesive to hold it in place...

Mine is bent around the lip and the attached with 4 zip ties, makes it easy to remove, especially for cleaning when its full of bugs!

I bonded 4 bolts behind the return with fibreglass mat and resin, then fixed the grill with washers and nylocs

Me too
3\4" dowel fits well between the slats - I sanded a flat onto them - bonded in with PU and then self tappers to fix grill to dowels.
