I've used 1/4" square wire screen, available at most hardware stores. Basically just pull the grille and line the backside and either zip tie or wire it, reinstall. I've used it on 4 vehicles for many years, but on the Sporto I used 1/2" plastic square screen just because it was handy. I doubled and offset it to get smaller holes (keeps the bees and things that damage the radiator fins out).
Would some fiberglass window screen material do the same job? It may not be rigid enough to stop road debris from damaging the grill however, unless you create some sort of standoff.

Ya looking at protecting the grill or the radiator here??? Tough to protect the grill, but jage has the right idea for the radiator. Putting in a billit grill does a good job too. Keeps the big hunks out of the expensive parts....

Thanks for the ideas and the kudos on my van, I just made a dual clamps that will hold 2 3ft poles on each corner of the bumper and attached wire mesh to it. after building it i didnt like the way it looks. go figure. i think im going with the temp wire mesh billet grill idea easy enough rubber spacers and tie straps.
Thanks again
Ron
