I am worried about forming stainless mesh. Does it bend? I made a form for my 996 GT3 and used aluminum fine mesh. It formed easily and kept a nice shape.

yes it does bend. i can bend the whole length of the mesh with my hands but probably not as nicely as the aluminum fine mesh. i believe the stainless steel mesh will take more of an impact and will not warp or flex as much when rocks and debris hit it.

Nice job making a form. I did my first set hand forming them. Took forever and was a pain in the ***! When these become toast, next set I'm going to create a form first like you!

the center's require no bending. just cut to fit and it sandwiches in place.
