Tilley KL80 bug screen

Hi fellas, my KL80 needed a big bug screen for the bottom, not ever seen one for sale . So I made one. I didn't take pictures of drawing it up but till later.
I used 1mm brass plate. Roughly worked out the holes vent pattern drilled and filed and cleaned up.
I used a broken bug screen tube part from a Tilley. Silver soldered it in place , cleaned it up and it looks the part
Very coolest, my lamp is now complete

 

Good idea. Looks good.

 

Nice work, @Buggerlugs.


Cheers

Tony

 

I must have @Buggerlugs stuck in my brain!... Nice work, @Darryl Durdin. [Apologies to Brian!]

The large bottom insect screen is Tilley Part 900.
