    What method did you use to attach the mesh to your grill?

    And do you have pictures?

    Great post. I did this MOD and I am happy with the results. When I went home for Spring Break I saw some scrap wire lying around. I decided to give it a go and it turned out nice.

    Pretty sure you can. The material i have for my grill is almost identical to grill craft. I'm sure someone will attempt it and if not I'll be willing to help all that i can. I actually have another grill coming in that i can make another satoshi for fun. I ended up liking doing fiberglass and what not.

    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    QUOTED EXACTLY FROM LWYATTL ON TN



    Step 6 - Grillcraft Mount
    Cut the 36” #8-32 threaded rod into six 3” long pieces. Place the grill upside down on a flat surface. Set the Grillcraft behind the grill and look it over. There should be approximately 1/4”-1/2” overhanging over the edge of the plastic. Use the placement of the Grillcraft as a guide in knowing where to epoxy the 3” rods. Place the rods through the Grillcraft and use a black sharpie to mark the spot where it’ll be epoxied. I marked spots in the four corners top and bottom and in the center top and bottom. Remove the Grillcraft. Sand the marked area using 60 grit sand paper. Squeeze about a quarter size amount of Loctite Epoxy Gel onto a paper plate and mix. Apply the epoxy to about 2” of the rod and press onto the sanded area, be as precise with your original mark as possible. Repeat this with the other 5 rods. Allow 1 hour for epoxy to dry completely; trust me and wait on this, otherwise it’ll come loose when tightening the bolts. Now place the Grillcraft back onto the grill over the threaded rods. Use #12 Bonded Sealing Washers, they have both a rubber backing and metal washer, rubber side against the Grillcraft. Screw the washer on the threaded rod using #8-32 Machine Screw Nuts. As you tighten, the Grillcraft will become more flush with the grill. There is also a plastic piece behind the grill itself I drilled a 7/32” hole and used an 8” zip tie to pull the Grillcraft in even more. Turn your Satoshi Grill over and there it is.

    I've got an extra grill surround and I'm having a skilled buddy help me out. If it doesn't look right I'll just put the grille in the usual spot. :D
