Where can I get the nice wire mesh stuff that WON'T rust? - SV650.org

27-02-09, 02:33 AM

I got some with a view to making a rad guard but it's rusted. Got it from Homebase.

Anyone know where I can get some in person around the Londonish area so I can make sure I get a good match? Or even a website I can source it with good pictures?

Thanks.

You can get it in Halfords too, its aluminium I think so should be suitable. It's originally for bridging holes and adding body filler to, I think it's called "filler mesh" or something!

Wine and chocolates. No. I want to keep the plain colour really. Suppose I could get a tin of lacquer.
