Front grille mesh

[Brian74]

Looking for a decent alloy or steel material for the front grille; will also be using it on the side in front of my heat exchanger. Prefering a rigid, sheet style (instead of roll) and preferably alloy or stainless. Does anybody have any ideas?

Thx.

I use https://www.mcnichols.com/ for perf, expanded, mesh etc at work. Lots of options for material and thickness, probably going to be expensive though.

Thanks, buddy. Looks like a great selection.

Brian, I have been looking at this hexagon mesh - doesn't look like cheap 'chicken wire' that make other perf mesh products look like.

Thanks. Could someone also give me a rough idea of the size (w x h) of the front grille duct?

14"x16" sticks in my mind. not positive though.

I ordered a 16" x 48" sheet from above I have enough for 1 possibly two more

To the inside of the fiberglass radius on the hood opening is 14 wide by 11.5 high at the widest points. You would have to add an inch or so to each side to accommodate a way to mount the grill. So a 16 X 48 sheet would be plenty big.

Front Grill Mesh from Amazon
I epoxied some washers into the rounded areas every 4 inches or so and used zip ties to hold it in. Its ABS plastic, but it works.

Anyone have pics on how they epoxied washers on the inside?
