geoffbyrne Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I've just picked up a completely unloaded cab. It needs a grill & I'd like that metal with small round holes in it - you know the one! - to match that on my big cab. Anyone know where I can get it - I'm in Loughborough. G. Quote
KevB Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I know Maplins do speaker grills but I think they only do the square hole cross mesh type? I guess you could always replace the other current grill as well so they both match. Quote
geoffbyrne Posted July 12, 2011 Author Posted July 12, 2011 Plenty of cloth & round grill-covers, but only one guy offering flat metal. G. Quote
Fat Rich Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Did a search: [url="http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=perforated+metal+panels&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&ei=0yscTs-3HoyzhAeFmfXlBw"]http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=safa...3HoyzhAeFmfXlBw[/url] I got some years ago from FHbrundle, but it looks like you can probably get some from B&Q these days!

Looks like from these industrial places you have to buy a 2000 x 1000! I was just wondering where those who have already done this sourced the material. The B&Q looks hopeful. Depends on the size of the cab, once I get it. G. Quote
Fitz666 Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I got a sheet of it from B&Q, it was for a 2x10 and wouls almost do two of them, it was £20 or there abouts. Looks good Quote

Fitz666 Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Angle grinder would be far too harsh for this. I used a pair of tin snips. Quote
Monckyman Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 This dude looks like he can make you what you need, and it`s the round hole Eden cabs type too. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110706848645&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]GrillGeezer[/url] Quote
