do you reckon this will be ok re: radius at the sva test as it is recessed, i've seen quite a few of you have flush grilles? Rescued attachment sva grille.JPG

I was told by the sva man that the mesh needs to be between 25mm and 40mm and the radius of the material should be no smaller than 1mm dia.

I have a stainless mesh in the front, 5mm spacing 1mm woven wire, examiner wasn't bothered, said that for air intakes it was ok

Agree with John, mine is about the same size, SVA man never even looked at it. Ray
