+Here, a brass woven mesh sheet was cut and bent as an insert for the top hole in the rocker box (excluding models with dual plugs heads). \\
+The full sheet is unpolished, mill finish, ASTM E2016-06, 12“ width, 12” length, 0.025“ wire diameter, 54% open area). \\
+Measure the opening and add some on each side to fold down for sides. \\
+The first bend is simple. The second bend is just as simple but once you have two opposing sides you need a bender the right size. \\
+The back of the vise worked well. \\

+The inside bends ends had to be beveled back some to make room to shove it down the hole. \\
+Once it's bent properly, it can be installed with a little RTV silicon on the sides to help keep it in place. \\
