Closer Details / OEM Expanded Metal Aluminum Mesh Lath
Priceless!
These are remnants pieces I've kept
https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/164402966
that were left over from when we trimmed the damaged
https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/138986738
original mesh lath material used to 'to-off' my newly fabricated 914-6 GT engine bay lid
https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/139404626.
Here is proof
https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/164402968
that the mesh lath expanded metal material the Porsche factory sourced to build the 914-6 GT engine bay lids was in fact Aluminum

After all, the goal was not only to provide added cooling to the 914-6 GT mid-engine location
https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/144603022,
but also make these race cars just a bit lighter.
Below are some close-up photos of the diamond-shaped pattern,
and also the overall metric dimensions (I'll say close enough to try and source your own if available. BTW, good luck with that!).
Material Thickness:
0.78 mm
