Ah, classy as ever Dezzy! When mine was missing and I was waiting for one to become available from A8 Parts I tried manufacturing one out of stainless grill material. The problem is the the fact that that aren't lugs or a ledge on which to seat any frame (such as your stainless wire with some pants on it) and, consequently, the frame just pushes right through. It needs some work to provide some kind of seat first. As a grill became available I gave up on it.
