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)

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.

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.

Hopefully Tri-Pro comes out with there shaved cowl like they said and that problem will go away (hint-hint).

...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

Wow, $24 good deal. But can you grill on it in a pinch?

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.

Brilliant

Mine is getting leaves all in it just siting there under the tree.
