wire mesh (engine covers)
pete wood - April 22nd, 2004 at 07:04 PM

trying to make up some covers to go round my engine.
I'm thinking of using heavy gauge steel wire mesh (ala bird avary).

what sort of mesh did you guys use?
and,
If any of you live in Sydney, and the west the in particular,
Where did you get it?

I really wanna do it tomorrow so quick response would be very helpful,

Thanx :)

Mitre 10 - Outdoor section. Buy tin snips and template using sheet cardboard.

Measure twice - cut once.
