where to get steel mesh for HMT project (air filter)
 

so I'm talking to Antoine on his HMT accord project (which btw is 95% complete, I checked it out and it's nice).

He wanted to know about an air filter, a simple temp setup until he finds a nice K&N off ebay. I suggested either a wire screen or a mesh setup.

Where the hell do you find the wire mesh screen that would be suitable to use with a zip tie over the intake pipe?

thanks. -ryan

99 cent stores. It's the strainer for noodles or something. :D

I thought there was more "mesh" involved.. like some paper plus steel combo.

I can use the basic wire grid as an alternative but I wanted something a little bit more... protective?

you know, so ants don't crawl into the turbo and ----. :)

hey Pat, I know hat you're talking about but I want something a little bit more "screening" then that. I know I can just sacrafice one of my food strainers but I wanted something with a paper content.

We may end up going with just the basic metal screen but I want to explore all options first. I told Antoine I would get back to him on this, hopefully we will upload some pics soon ;)

just get that ---- they put over gutters or something. know what I mean, that gutter guard ----. its cheap, and I think it would work. You can get it in various sizes and patterns, so you should be able to find something.
