    it needs to afford a reasonable amount of mechanical protection

    that's a good call! +1 here
    the mesh they put into new style security doors would be perfecr for that application, or alternatively, lots of revheads use that mesh for inserts into bumperbars, panels etc, you could try your local revhead shop.

    Thanks Ray

    I reckon the mesh is about 3-4 mm. I will check over the w/e.

    You could also try to get hold of some vents they use in brickwork.

    OR I found this http://www.metalmesh.com.au/cfm/index.cfm
    OR http://www.wiremesh.com.au/about.asp

    I have a piece of Stainless security mess at 148mm by 2m. The openings are about 1.8mm x 1.8mm and the wire is about 0.7mm. It is black powder coated I think ( some other very tough black coating). Would be happy to cut you 300mm and post it. Just send me the post cost if you want it.
