Radiator guard mesh

**1vanvan1** · 22nd June 2009, 14:30

I have just been down at Repco inquiring about buying some radiator mesh. And the sheet the showed me the measurements of could make atleast 4 radiator guards. Which got me thinking. I heard people on here have bought there mesh from Repco and they may have got the similar size sheet i was quoted. And may have some left over that i can buy from them.

So here i am asking, Does any1 have any radiator mesh they have bought from repco or something equivalent i can purchase off them for beer or money.

Thanks!

I've got a sheet with a bit cut out of it - how big a piece do you need ?

Oh and if you're way out of Auckland I can't see it being worthwhile

Best you post the dimensions you need...

I should have some lying around, the Ripco Racemesh, but I ended up just making a bigger guard. Don't think I have been able to make a guard sideways from it... must have big radiators

The size i am after is about 400mm by 250mm

Ulrich aluminium is cheaper and Payless Plastics or Para Rubber do a nice small profile edging rubber for about $2 per m

I've still got most of a sheet of black mesh left that I got from Super Cheap Auto. It's 280 wide, I can cut a 400mm bit off for you for $15.

...or go down to your local truck/machinery workshop see if you can grab an old truck air filter out of their skip. Snip the mesh off that. Spend the money you save on beer

Stainless door security mesh is great.
fitted it to two bikes. Daytona and Scrambler.
Find a security door maker, and take some beer. they will have heaps of off cuts.
