Does anyone reproduce the mesh that goes in the front nostril on low lights, not the basket but the mesh made up of rectangles. I was going to draw it up and have it laser cut but wondered if anyone had already done it.
cheers Jason

Hi Jason,
If you have one made can you have two done? I am missing one as well.

Those are for later Ghia, but I wonder if they can be cut down to fit lowlight nostrils? Height being the concern.
Also, how do they install? Does the grill hold them in place?

Should be easy enough to simply make your own.

simple if you have the correct mesh, but so far I have not seen anything that is right. I guess if someone had already made them It would have been posted here by now.

I'm pretty sure I've cut some down to size in the past from the later/larger mesh. I dont have any of the newer mesh to measure though.

Hi we stock these in plastic for a lowlight and also now have the correct gauge mesh for new steel ones.
