Derek - sorry - missed your earlier post. Thankyou very much - but I've got to learn, haven't I...
I didn't quite get your point about the "3D effect" - presumably if the frame is 3D and the gauze was clamped between crankcase and frame, then it would still have the raised bit?
I can see the desire for getting rid of loose ends, but the original construction has all those punched holes, all with no solder around them - I would have thought they are likely to shed just through the actions of being tightened and loosened occasionally. This is my effort with the cooking torch to get rid of the old gauze, and as you can see it seems a bit of a no-brainer for where one should continue with the new attachment points...
