What started out as an induction air filter project has now
become a complete aperture screening project. Once I
got started, I couldn't stop!
Total cost: $50
1. 2'x3' 1/4" mesh stainless screen-$40
(exact amount to do a GT40, with no room for error)
2. 16' of 1/8" vacuum hose-free(already had it in garage)
3. 1 tube of black weatherstrip adhesive-$5
4. 1 pack of Dremel cut off wheels-$5
5. 3 pieces of stiff aluminum welding rod-free (screen stiffener)
Total cost-$50
I half-split the vacuum hose in a razor blade jig, and used
it as a gasket for the screens. I wired the welding rods to
the radiator screen to stiffen it up. The tow hook holes
will be trimmed with the same rubber hose. The photos show
everything dry fit. Gluing will take place tonight or tomorrow.
