Hey guys, hopefully someone can help me out. Focusinprogress and I are looking for some perforated sheet metal to fabricate some side covers for our cafe bikes. I have searched and came up empty handed. I’d like to purchase local (or even Rochester) because I want to see the product and get an idea first.

Here’s an example of what we need:

if they do, chances are the machined holes are HUGE. personally, I’d actually like the spacing between holes to be greater than whats in that picture above, I’d like it to be less see-through looking.

Good luck locally. I tried when I wanted to make my own baffling for my exhaust. It’s super cheap when you buy it in giant sheets but in small sections everyone wants a lot.
