Mesh in gq grill?

Ive done a few searches about puttin universal mesh into the grill. Not much came up. I know to cut and bend it and silicon it in or something but a few more pics would help and any advise you guys have would be great. Just thought id ask before hand because someone always has an easier way.The pics where im up to now.

..........

Have a look in Bigrig's thread, pretty sure he's used mesh in his grill as well. Couldn't tell you where in that mammoth thread it is though and can't remember if he did a write up about it either....... Sorry, that's all I've got.

Cheers mate ill have a search. I got half an idea just trying neat as possible. Not much room with the front mount

I think big rig has used blue mesh in his gq "tank" his build thread will have some photos for sure. I'd link the thread but sorry am on my phone at the moment.


Edit:damn you clunk!

Yeah i just have the black super cheap auto mesh. Yeah im on my phone too. Ill just have to skip through the milions pages haha

Its on page 124 but unfortunately no description on how it was done

Best way is to bend over from the back and stick as you described earlier.
I tried making an insert with this stuff yrs ago.
hard to do and keep it neat/straight.
but you still need to fix it in place, an insert is a hard to get a neat tidy look, not boy racer.
Humm, maybe using the piece you removed as a template.
and bending it over that may have a result.
you may have to trim it first to allow for the thickness of mesh for an insert, possibly to tight to fit.
can tell you now, an insert the sharp edges on mesh will scratch the grill on insertion if not extremely careful.
placement from behind will do less damage as cut ends go in last.
a flap disc on grinder would help remove sharp points
the process would proberly render the mesh piece useless for reuses if it doesn't work.

Go To a sheetie and get some small expanded metal.
Depends what look your after, could go custom and drill pattern into it
would make it stand out from the others, Thats what I'd do just make sure
you have plenty of air flow. powder coat any colour you like

Finally got out in the shed.
