Cheap mesh for nosecones.
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.

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.

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

30, still waiting for me.

I have a sheet of this stuff which I didn't use. £5.00 + postage or collect North London.
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

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.

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.
