Anyone Know Where To Get This Kind Of Mesh In Vic?


Recommended Posts

umm maybe a closeup? it could be the thick perforated and twisted mesh used on some security doors.

Just go to any secuity door factory and ask for offcuts and scraps. I'm sure they won't mind giving you a little.

i got mine from a bus panel beater its the same mesh that they use in the ventelation on the rear engine bay doors

the ony reason i put it on was to stop birds from dint and hitting my cooler

cost be 20 bucks for a huge square i just cut it down and bent to suit

thanks guys, unfortunately i dun have a bigger pic. I tried asking around, went to a few places but the mesh is all the same, ie the thin ones. Anyone knows any panel shop or somewhere where i can purchase them?

Check out an aluminium window/door manufacturer. My company sometimes uses what is often called 'DVA' or 'one-way' mesh in security doors instead of normal flywire. It is hard to tell from your pic but this may be the stuff you are after. It is aluminium and available in a heap of powdercoat colour finishes. If no luck, get in contact with the company "Al-Spec" (Aluminium Specialties Group). They are a wholesaler we buy it from. They are nationwide and should be able to put you onto someone in your area who uses the stuff if you ask nicely.

Hope this helps somewhat.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
