Anyone ever shorten a flame arrester?
Successfully anyway. I have two real nice ones and both of them are about 1/2" too tall. Hatch cover hits them when closed.

are they just the wrapped screen style . If so I don't see it would be a problem to cut the screen and center stud down.

That's what I was thinking, but I'm sure the screen is stainless steel, and probably hard to cut. Then keeping the screen still while cutting may be difficult. That's the only part I'm worried about. The center stud and the and the 5 treaded tubes would be easy.
I'm sure someone has done it and has a trick.
