DIY radiator mesh

[richard hall]

I am looking to put aluminium mesh on the radiator cowlings when I do the compressors
is there any concensus on the size of the mesh

the zunsport ones look quite large i was thinking 16mm *10 mm to minimise airflow loss

Halfords dont mention the size of theirs

I know demon tweeks do a variety marketed as race "to minimise air flow loss" is this the same as porsche fairy dust

it does in fairness look like there is a slight bevel edge facing the air flow

any thoughts please

I just used black "performance mesh" from Halfords. IMHO the Zunsport ones look horrendous.

I wasnt thinking of fitting zunsports I was just using that as an example of mesh size

It is difficult to get a handle on the size of the Simoni mesh in the link, but it looks the same size as the Ripspeed Competition mesh that Halfords sell.
