Where did you source the mesh? I moved my around too and would have liked to use the mesh.

 

Regarding mesh source:

http://www.mcnichols.com/products/perforated/round-hole/material/stainless-steel?navCode=avc:AV-27478

One of these three meshes is the same as the '51 Ford. Just measure the hole size on yours, compare to the products, and that should be it. If you do not have scrap any more, let me know and I can tell you which one is correct after I remeasure mine.

I made several pieces before I got it right. Cutting holes in SS is difficult. It is easier, I imagine, with a proper sized hole punch. Polishing is best done before shaping and cutting it down to final size. ...lessons learned.

 

hes been here since 2009, one would think he knew it would fly over here like a lead balloon.
