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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
