Aldon 4,828 #1 Posted March 21, 2016 I need a replacement flywheel screen. For K341 or K321. Does anyone know if a Redsquare vendor has them? Has anyone found screen material that looks correct that will work to make one? Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,638 #2 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Aldon, McMaster Carr has perforated screen material.It is in the steel listing.They have a large selection of thicknesses and hole sizes.The smallest panel is 2'x2' and at something like $36.00.Thats kinda pricey but you may find something that suits your needs.Years ago I made a disc to rivet over the shroud opening.I punched a hole pattern in this disc.This worked to keep something from contacting the fins but I didn't realize the holes were too large(I wanted to ensure air flow). Grass clippings built up that I didn't see and thats how my C120 wound up in flames.Oh well lesson learned!

tunahead72 2,551 #3 Posted March 21, 2016 Aldon, I would place an ad in the classifieds section, you'll probably get a response there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aldon 4,828 #4 Posted March 21, 2016 Thanks Jim. I was looking at the plethora of options they have, Any idea what guage the stock version is? I can probably guestimate the perforated hole diameter. I can definitely source a used one. I am hoping to get one in very good shape or make one new with fresh perforated material. all the older ones I see the mounting holes are wallowed out and the metal is in poorer condition. I may yet decide to go with recycle and sand blast and fresh paint. Just trying to see what my options are. There is definitely something wrong with me as I am fighting the urge to buy stainless and polish it...I know CRAZY. I am like a musk rat. Like shiney stuff. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishin4a416 2,191 #5 Posted March 21, 2016 I'm sure and ad in the wanted section would work. Some members have Kohlers around. I think 10-12-14-16 are all the same size. I have blasted and painted 2 and they have turned out nice. I know Kelly the vendor here had a lot of Kohlers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,638 #6 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Aldon, I am more interested in no rust.I just pulled the screen off my 301 and it is .050 . It came off easily as I replaced the iron phillips heads with stainless button head hex drive.I use these stainless screws to replace all the phillip head screws on all my WHs.I get them from different vendors on E-bay. At $6.50 for 25 of the 1/4" screws delivered it was a no brainer.These screws are great when used to hold the engine shrouds in place.No problem with aluminum corrosion and broken screws.Luck,JAinVA JimAnderson Goucester,Va Edited March 21, 2016 by JAinVA 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
