It Was Tough But......
HI ,Guys just wanted to share this image with you.I recently read an article on how to place the stone guard inside the radiator shell. I like the idea and the look so I gave it my best shot. Here is the result, I'm very pleased , it still functions as a stone guard and i can see the blue on top and the black on the bottom. LOTS OF PATIENCE thanks for looking. THE HOOCH

Re: It Was Tough But......
That does look good,and I'm a guy that doesn't like stone guards.It's just that I don't like them hiding the shell above and below the core.How did you get it spaced out so it isn't riding on the fins?

Re: It Was Tough But......
I really like the look of it. Sounds like it isn't easy? Did you have something to go by?

Re: It Was Tough But......
If you don't want to cut up the stone guard sold by the parts stores you can buy just the mesh from McMaster Carr, see https://www.mcmaster.com/9656T11/.

Re: It Was Tough But......
Thanks nKaminar
I will check that out and order the piece and not have to cut my stonegard. Great Idea, I really like the look of it but took mine off as it covers up the radiator shell Thanks again |

Re: It Was Tough But......
after cutting and fiting perfict, i used a wood dowel on the outside of the shell and wired it in place both top and bottom, then used J B weld 5020 and glued it into place BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM on the inside of the shell . there is enough space for the guard to fit but cutting the top ,bottom, and sides near the top requires patience.

Re: It Was Tough But......
Check out McMaster's price for a 36x36 sheet. Maybe try some diamond mesh stucco lath and paint flat black.
