Aluminum (NOT STEEL), Expanded
The original Porsche factory expanded metal mesh material used for the engine bay of a 914-6 GT. This particular piece I have, came from Dr. Gagnon who was gracious enough to sell me several years ago. For many years I have tried to find the same diamond raised pattern with little luck.
Here is a close-up of the factory original GT mesh material https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/138986740 and this next photo shows the same material being used on the Werks 71' Monte Carlo 914-6 GT https://pbase.com/image/138989427 this GT https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/138989459. You can form your own opinion, but if this is not convincing enough for you, I don't know what is.
