Hi Dave, yes, I got the nomex honeycomb screen from Speedway. I ran self adhesive strips of Velcro along the sides of the radiator and mating ones to match, on the screen. I did find that the adhesive didn't hold too well to the screen, but that's not an issue, until you remove the screen, like to paint it...I got into my wife's sewing kit and used needle and thread to more firmly attach the Velcro to the screen. Only stuck myself three times. I did have difficulty with the adhesive sticking to the needle, making it difficult to push through, so used some lacquer thinner to keep the needle clean. Easy-peazy BTW, the aluminum paint isn't very bright but at least its not that ugly cardboard tan. Maybe another brand would be better than the Rustoleum 2X I used?
