Re: It's Leaf Guard Time!!!

I got mine from Brothers- more money than you invested but I don't have any gas for my welder, and no extra time...
Yours looks first class. Nice work and good idea (Putter has a lot of his ideas on our trucks)

Re: It's Leaf Guard Time!!!

Great job....I need to learn how to weld. I like how you put the pictures of the leaves on there and took a picture. Just had to test it out.

Re: It's Leaf Guard Time!!!

I took it out and gave it a couple coats of POR-15. If I did it over I'd use finer mesh because those little maple type seeds get right in there...

That brothers one looks nice.

...then they show life without the product (in black and white) and everyone is fumbling around without direction and their cowls are stuffed full of leaves

Re: It's Leaf Guard Time!!!

Good thread

I've been planning on doing the same thing, except i was thinking of using a more malleable media, so i can mold it up into the slits in the cowl.
