Engine Screen Mesh | The De Tomaso Forums

Does anyone know a source of the original mesh grill for the engine cover?

I've been looking for it for years. None of the North American suppliers have ever seen anything like it.

This might be a close facsimile from Mcmaster Carr. Check out the link below and look at the 3rd line down. The line that has 0.12" × 0.29" as the overall size dimension. It measures close to the original mesh. The only problem they only offer it in a max of 2'x2' sections.

The original is 18 x 34. I could probably work a 24 x 24. Kind of pricey at $54 though. Need to think on this.

Nice find though....thanks.

The original all mesh screen was nice and classy. Sorry I cut it up. That was years ago. Who knew?

Try this: www.howardwire.com

Huge selection including front grill wire mesh.

I think Mike Drew has the correct mesh, but that might be for the front valance.
