WTB Front Cover Panel 4x12

[locoed]

Does anybody know where I can find the front cover
For a road ready Mesa 4x12? The old style cab with
The steel mesh front.

Good luck on finding a front panel.

Might be easier to make one or have one made.
The latches could be hard to find, too.

Here's a picture of what you want......

Hahaha yeah I know it's going to be hard.
I have 2 cabs with the covers now, bought a third
And it's missing a small rear cover as well.

Out of my 7 metal grills, only one had a back top panel.

That'd be the easy part. ½" plywood cut to fit, spray paint black. (edit: gts corrected me. ¾" is the thickness.)

Plywood won't affect the tone?

 

[MichaelC4]

All the back panels on the metal grills are ½" plywood. (edit: gts corrected me. ¾" is the thickness.)

Since you've already got top back panels, you can trace one of those onto a sheet.
Or, if it came down to it, the bottom panel has the same dimensions and screw locations.
Use plenty of screws to seal it.

I keep some cabinets open top to mic the back of the cone in the studio.

Not sure what you're looking for. The steel mesh grill that goes on the front? Or something else?

I know of an 80s cabinet (steel mesh grill) that's a little chewed-up and cheap but might be worth buying for parts:

Not sure what you're looking for.

I posted a picture of what he is looking for.

No different cab, I have a straight road ready cab, I need the front cover.
Thanks though.


I traced out what I need, gonna use plywood and cover
It with ABS plastic.

Sorry grasshopper but you are wrong. They are 3/4" plywood

You are correct, Master.
That is what I get for assuming.

I did not measure the thickness and was guessing.
Too lazy to go out in the garage and look to be sure.
Another lesson learned.
Thank you, gts.

It's the removable panels that are ½" plywood.
