You mean http://www.kgworks.co.jp/eng/4c41.htm ? (This version shows up as a
"clickable" link in most email packages - the above ref doesn't!)

I like the idea, but am not sold on the execution - as you mention,
fastening to the hooks, and I don't like the wide border around the grille.
However, I've been watching for a stainless mesh grille for a while, and am
hoping one of the local vendors will offer something suitable.  Oh yeah, the
price is kinda steep also!

Funnily enough, someone else just mentioned a new UK magazine called
Japanese Performance - I'd picked up a copy of issue no. 1 (Nov/Dec 99) a
couple of days ago, and there is an ad from a vendor called "5peed" that
shows a mesh grill for M1s and M2s.  The M1 price is 85 pounds sterling
(about $170 US, not including shipping?), so quite a bit cheaper than KG
Works.  Has anyone in the UK seen this unit?
