if anyone wants to do this mod cheaply, buy some anodised mesh from b and q available in silver or gold , cut to size , bending over the edges or bending the edges around your rad, use some short lengths of copper wire twisted  instead of cable ties

Is the way to do it, even better if in your employers workshop you remember seeing some hiding behind one of the lathe,s.

I know what I will be doing tomorrow with a bit of cardboard and scissors.

yes, making a template.

£45 approx will get you one straight off the shelf though and guaranteed to fit.



Aldav, plastic cable ties will look seriously naff, send it back and change it for a Beowulf one.
