Hi Dan

I'd go with some fine metal gauze (stainless) for a ridder (so it gets some grip), or normal foil for a cheap option if it will not be ridden.

You could also just buy a cheap seive out of a food store and cut the guts out with some snips, then trim to size.

I've had to pack out many items in my time on cars, boats, m/c's and bikes etc , something like this should do -

Maybe email a few, or phone asking for some samples  ;)

to much but if someone wants to ride it hard then it needs sorting.
