Cheap mesh for nosecones.
UncleFista - 25/5/12 at 02:37 PM

I was put onto this on another forum.

Ripspeed (what I reckon must be stainless) diamond mesh down from £30 to £10, enough to do 2, or enough to cock one up and still have enough to get it right

Very tough to cut, and according to others who've used it it doesn't rust, even on the cut ends.

Link to mesh at Halfords

If that doesn't work, search the Halfords site for "Cat code: 379859-0"

Reserve to collect and it's £10 instead of £30 in store.

According the Halford's site it's coated steel?? Time will tell!

Yeah, I saw that and assumed they knew what they were talking about until I tried to cut it.
It's very hard, and others have said it doesn't rust.

As you say, time will tell

Not sure what you are doing Ben, This morning I've just ordered two for collection Monday from the Maidstone store. I checked that this service is available to the Margate store, which it is.


Ben_Copeland - 26/5/12 at 05:51 PM

They are out of stock, they just dont have anyone on at the weekend to email saying they are out of stock as its been discontinued. Spoke to head office and they confirmed theres none left.

You can order it online for collection etc, but they dont actually have any.

Same experience with me. Ordered on line and apparently in stock. Took credit card payment then got another e-mail a couple of days later saying that it was not actually in stock and that they were going to refund my payment (but presumably not the cost of the petrol to go and get it when I got an e-mail between the two saying that it was ready for collection

What a way to run a business. I did see a good set of rachet spanners whilst I was there but I refused to buy them and will not be going back again unless its a last resort


HowardB - 30/5/12 at 09:43 PM

must have been really lucky as I got mine ok, reserve for collection, email saying it was there, would be held 24 hours, and I collected it at hour 30, still waiting for me.



nice stuff too.

I complained instore, so they gave me a different style of mesh for same price as this


Macbeast - 31/5/12 at 05:02 AM

I have a sheet of this stuff which I didn't use. £5.00 + postage or collect North London.


dunk3 - 31/5/12 at 06:12 AM

Just reserved mine from the pontefract store , got until friday to pick it up , they better have it in stock when i get there


monkeyarms - 1/6/12 at 08:36 AM

I ordered a sheet on tuesday, and by today (Friday) it hasnt arrived.
After a lengthy phone call the £10 price was to clear old obsolete stock.
Bugger, could have done with some for this weekend.


bob - 1/6/12 at 04:22 PM

I used the same stuff on mine, its been on the cone since i put the zetec in and changed the rad (polo) so thats 5 years, still in good shape.

I got lucky and pulled a sheet of it out of the bargain bucket for £2, it was bent on one corner and the packet had been opened so bargain.


dunk3 - 1/6/12 at 05:03 PM

Picked up my mesh from halfords this afternoon , looks good quality .
