Default Flame Arrestors???

I need to find some flame arrestors to fit my Mx 6.2's. They have a 4" opening on the bottom around the intake, any suggestions?

I use a fabricator that can make most anything. If you can draw what you want with exact dimensions or mock it up out of cardboard or other materials he could give you a price. Aluminum or SS are the norm. He uses a CNC mill so anything like engraving is also an option. You can also have it powder coated or polished.
He is currently doing 6" X 52" billet engine room vents to replace the factory crap on my boat. This will be a one-off project like the billet after market grills for cars...trick. It will be all out on 3/16 X 1 1/4 aluminum bar on edge bent to fit the contour of the boat with no exposed fasteners.

Do you have a mock up pic of the design? Im looking for new vents and the ones I have are very long and cant find them...no name or part numbers on them either. They measure 44"x5.6"

I can post pictures when they are complete in 45-60 days. They are going to be expensive. If your vents were factory supplied, have you tried calling the boat manufacture to find the vendor?
