Gonna post a reply to my own questions. I talked to the shop that O/H'd my front engine back when I bought the plane (good shop with lots of experience with Skymasters - more than any other I know of). They have the actual material that the screens are made of. They are going to send me some and the price is right. So I'm replacing what I have with the correct stuff (what I have is galvanized and this stuff is stainless steel). The guy tells me that the holes are about 1/4" in size instead of the 1/2" that's on mine.
So for those of us with the earlier models, there's some input on that question...
