Great idea! I like the way you made this. Where exactly does the rivet attach to the clamp? It's hard to see exactly how you did it, and this idea has me thinking about how to make heat shields to cover a high pipe.

Eau de savauge You are right.... not that pretty

Edub I found a hose clamp that fitted and drilled a hole in the band so that the screw was facing out at the bottom and then riveted the mesh to it in the right place easy peasy and works well Any longer than what I have and you would probably need two clamps The mesh is easy to shape

Jog It never occured to me to do that Good idea!

Now if someone would come up with a practical idea for a stone guard for the belt I would be all attention
