Where to buy mesh inserts for front bar?


Recommended Posts

just go to autobarn or repco.. they have mesh in 1m by 60 or something like that... thats where i got the mesh for my 32... the holes arent like fine mesh which is what i liked...

yeah they have in different colours and stuff as well

you could always try a security door place and get off cuts (thats where i got mine from as we used to make security doors years ago and still had scraps ;))

thats also a good one... cheaper too... the stuf i got from repco was like $32 a sheet

just heard an ad on triple m:

"steel and mesh, steel and mesh, when you're looking for the best... there's one place to go that's wolters (with an O)"

kinda sad, sorry.

but that may help you out :D

the autobarn mesh is pretty expensive for how much you get. would hardly cover the front bar. they also sell it at supercheap in 3 colours...

i went to the metal extruder place, part of the locker group in moorabin. they do the mesh for ford etc. but wanted $44 for a 1200 x 900 sheet. all i needed was 800 x 250 for grill. if you got balls just wander around the back and ask where the offcuts are.

I bought mine from sydney special vehicles they do all the hsv's n stuff you get a 1200 by 1200 sheet for $50 cos autobarn wanted $30 something for a sheet that wouldnt be tall enough for the cooler

its only silver

anyone see me in hot 4's this month

Thanks everyone for their suggestions. I found Autobarn sell cheap 120cm x 20cm sheets for $15, or 100cm x 30cm for $30. I havent checked out repco yet.

Coastlife? your skyline was in hot4s? I thought they only featured 4cyl. cars. btw, the pic you attached is too small to see the mesh!

Yeah thats metal mesh :D

If you want to be a real tight ass, "GO-LO" sells exactly the same stuff as autobarn, for $10 a sheet.

[edit]

ferni try some places that manufacture security screens.

Security mesh is perfect size, allows good airflow, and can be cut with a regular pair of scissors.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
