Finishing up the oil system meant I could finally put the fender liners back in to see if anything needs to be trimmed or adjusted. I know the portion of the liner that used to sit inside the top lip needs to find a new home as the lip is pounded completely over. I read in another post that someone removed the grate behind to oil cooler and got lower oil temps so since I needed to come up with something for the additional cooler on the driver side I went to Ace Hardware and looked for ideas. I have 1/4 mesh but I was worried about something puncturing one of the coolers. I went with the mesh in the end but have a couple of go to's in the event I am not happy. The first is these
They are aluminum filters for range hoods, great for keeping the debris down but $20 a piece.
The second idea is a large scotch brite pad. I have found them before and used them for paint work. They also let tons of air through and have enough structure that you can fasten with a body panel screw. Used the mesh and a few small zip ties and will look for aluminum screen material to sandwich it in the future.
