- Usage of Metal Frame
- Using bending metal frames to wrap around the intake and have the mesh sandwich in between. Drill screws through the metal frames to the keep the mesh in place. If done this way, need to be aware of screw size and strength to make sure mesh is secured properly and also make sure screws do not interfere with airflow within the intake passage. Relatively easy to maintain because screws can be removed, however not as strong as using a glue adhesive.
- Usage of Cap System
- Adding a cap on top of an already flushed mesh would allow for strong security and also easy maintenance. The cap would attach onto latches of a rim added to the front of the intake. This would most likely be designed and produced in-house (most likely 3-D print material). Also thinking of maybe using a silicon type material that would sandwich the cap edges within the inside of the rim.
