Kinky yourself!
Hopefully no welding at all, I have just managed to get one Kilogram of 316 rods and have started kinking them, done 8, thats 480 kinks tonight!
The stainless is MUCH springier than the aluminium, I have just woven a patch with the 8 rods and they are very tough to weave compared with the aluminium. I may give them a tad more º kink.In a way tight is good because it will hold the mesh tighter and not be waffy, or rattle. I haven't decided how to finish the edges, I would like to use some 3.2mm stainless wire for the frame, then bend each mesh wire around the frame wire, but that may be a bit much. I know a man who can weld 28 gauge tubing in jet engines, so I may ask him to tack the edges for me, I don't have any argon, although I do have a TIG torch and a good DC supply... All I need is the argon.
Will probably do the rest of the kinks tomorrow, only 1260!!! Enough to put me off kinks for life!
Apart from my kinky adventures, I have almost finished off the exhaust, only needs trimming at the back and some hangers fabricating, another task for tomorrow. Than I can final fit the floor, transmission tunnel and gearbox cover. That will be good, some visible progress.
