Hehe yes. That was to fit the radius of the one-piece eurobrace. I used the standard aluminum screen channel stuff for the straight sides. Got the mesh from Peavey Mart.

I'd love to see more information on this project, where you got your parts and what you estimate the cost to be.

I was lucky to have found the Sfiligio on Sask reef cost when I first bought it was $600.00 the Mitras I wasn't so lucky paid full retail about $ 1200.00 by the time I got it shipped no extra material hung with wire hanging kits. now that I look at it maybe I wasn't lucky at all
