    If you can take a sketchup file I could give it a shot.

    Edit: Looks like free Sketchup can't export to something like .dxf unless you only want a .png or a .jpg, otherwise it'll have to be a .skp.

    What material are you going to be using?

    Also, can it extend beyond the size of the rad?

    Good, because I had it extend beyond the rad size. :D
    The holes are correct based off of MNPCTECH's website. Thanks Bill for having basic dimensions posted!:thumb:

    What I have now is a two piece grill, but it could easily be melded into a single piece if need be. Other modification suggestions welcome as well.

    Here's what I got:

    I forgot to add these, can do it if you want.[​IMG]

    No problem. Glad you like it.

    I'm kind of taken by this design. I think I'll tweak it a bit more, add the parts I left out. I'll merge it to one piece and see how it looks and I'll add mesh to the 2-piece design.
