What mesh did you use on the front grill and what would you use now?

not to be awkward but this thread is useless without pics

Stainless mesh grill fixed to bolts fibreglassed behind the return of the opening in the nose.

7 made from ali sheet (printed a scaled-up photo of a Cateringvan grill, stuck it to the ali, screwed the ali to plywood for support, and cut with a jigsaw, fixed with silver/grey cable ties) Rescued attachment 2008-01-20 8 ST front.JPG

one tip - if you want a black mesh grill, then buy one that comes black. dont be cheap and buy a metal one which you then have to hammerite. it just doesnt look that good!!

Mine uses the same mesh as on Humbug's car.

One thing - don't be tempted to use anything that restricts the air - these cars have enough trouble getting cool air over the radiator without making it even harder!
