I know next to nothing about this car, but if all else fails, you can count the holes to work it out:

I recommend using the counting tool in Photoshop

the original rad screen measures 1MM square Need to know what size mesh is that?

From another forum

"I'm making steel mesh from a sheet of mesh I found in a glass fibre repair kit, the mesh size is pretty much spot on, made a grille, headlamp covers and now making a carb cover that's not in the kit. "

I'm guessing 1mm lol

I believe the original mesh size was 1/2 inch, or 12.7 mm, so in 1/12 scale 1mm will be close enough.

Oh, hang on, you’re asking for American mesh sizes … as Ian indicated above, in Europe you’d just buy mesh with 1 mm spacing, so that’s the most likely answer you’re going to get here. A quick bit of googling turned up this page which says that 1 mm mesh is US size 18 (it says 1000 μm there, but that equals 1 mm).

Found it it is regular door and window mesh
