Hey,
Ive got a venom kit for my EL, and the mesh in the front, looks like some bodged home job, its roughly cut, likes like angled and just looks stupid (No i didn't make it haha). Wondering if theres anywhere you can buy a proper already made up one which fits perfectly and what not? |

Hi mate the best way to do this job is to buy the materials yourself and shaping it to fit your front bar.

looked everywhere to find a mesh that fits when I installed mine. trust me - there is nothing. needs to be a custom job.
ended up getting a wire frame made up to size then attaching the mesh to that and curling the mesh around the edges to give it a smoother appearance (not jagged on the edges etc). worth the effort.

Yeah what i was thinking, was making a template out of cardboard, cutting that out of mesh, then getting like a bummer strip to run around the outside of the mesh
