My bike was imported from South Caroline as a bit of a wreck without the cover so who knows if it has been reunited ! The grill as usual was rusted to bits so I've replaced with stainless sheet from ebay. Hard to shape the curved ends. None of my clippers strong enough and tin snips inaccurate. Ended up using cutting disc on my rotary tool.

Nice job you've done there. I used to cut out and sell the mesh inserts on my ebay page. I had a very, very heavy duty pair of scissors to cut the mesh to the correct shape. Even then, it was a killer on the hands, I could only cut a maximum of 20 inserts at a time before my hand and fingers were screaming 😂😂😂😂

Very skilled looking repair, always satisfying when a repair looks as good as the original 👍
