mesh grill write-up
#164
Ok, So i have jumped on this band wagon with this mod for my Disco.
I have looked over this thread and noticed that there have been some issues with some of you guys and having the wire mesh sticking to the grill. I have tried a different approach to this and it seems to work pretty good.
Once I had the center section removed from the grill, I scuffed the inside of the grill with a scotch brite pad...
This should provide a better surface for the epoxy to bond to...
I made "backing" pieces to sandwich the wire mesh with the epoxy....
Scuffed all of the pieces to provide better "tooth" for the epoxy to bond to...
I ran out of epoxy before i had a chance to finish up the bottom part of the grill. So far so good. This epoxy works better with plastic parts so having two grill parts bonding the wire mesh in between should hold better......time will tell.
I will post more once I have the emblem on and the grill mounted back on the Disco.
