The original grill on my 555E was in perfect shape but it was pretty lame so I made a new one. I was always afraid of something going through it. I bet that would be expensive! This wasn't too hard to make and it adds a little protection. I wish I could come up with something for the side covers.
Nice fitment. What did you use? Almost looks like a storm sewer grate.
LOL! I just bent some .25 x 1 flat bar to fit, then cut the horizontal pieces out of the same and put the flat expanded metal on back. It's a little too heavy though.
Nice job! My grill was missing so I just cut a piece of expanded metal to fit the hole with no frame work. Now I feel lazy.
