I am restoring a Joust that was in very sad shape.

I am not sure where to find the exact replica, however it appears to be a standard Perforated Metal sheet.

I have a Moon Patrol cab and I believe it's 100% identical to Joust except for art and CP.  I measured my grille perforation sizes and sheet thickness and I found a close match on from McMaster Carr.

It's more metal than you need, but it might come in handy for restoring other Williams cabs.

Toolaa, considering it was such a large sheet, do you have any left? He probably doesn't need the whole sheet. You could re-coup some cost and he wouldn't have to buy a full sheet.

If you're interested, I just pulled apart an old Williams/Moon Patrol cab, and I have a boxload of parts.

The speaker grill piece you're looking for, is also in that box.

Here is an additional picture of the material, which actually isn't metal at all but a formed/molded plastic.

Just in case you were curious.  :)

I would surely have given spare material if I had it.  However, I was just offering a suggestion my cab had a grille in fairly good condition so I just repainted it.

Toolaa,

Thank you for the Part number.  I acutally need to purchase this for my cabinets but never thought to check McMaster.  I buy from them all the time and just never bothered to look.
I going to see if my CNC router can make a few custom cuts for some odd ball broject I'm working on.

Thanks
Charlie
