Not Ranked
I replaced mine with a stainless steel screen that covers the radiator and then extends as tall and wide as possible. I did not like the appearance of slats within the area of the radiator. The mesh I used was 10 squares per inch, (bought on E-Bay) about the same as the screen that I purchased from my SPF dealer. Stainless is much heavier duty. I might suggest less squares per inch as it will allow better air flow and still catch most bugs. By having no visible edges, it is a much cleaner look while still providing protection.
I was told that 3M "Velcro" can withstand the heat of the radiator where even heavy duty Velcro probably won't. I bought some at my favorite store - Amazon. 3M Fastener TB3571/TB3572 Hook/Loop Black, 1 in. One inch width is about twice what one needs - I cut mine in half, lengthwise.
Hope this helps - Tom
P.S. - I have added this photo to give you an idea of what I did. Please discount the light reflection. You can see the vertical edges of the radiator behind the screen
