Can the grill from a disco 2 be switched out w a grill on my disco 1? I have a D2 grill and want to use that for this mesh project but when I held it up it looked to be a little narrow to fit... mabey a little mod and it will fit?

tweak, turned out nice. That is exactly how I did mine. Spence had a problem with the loctite, but that is what I used. The JB kept popping off..

Looks good man!
