[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 87717, member: 357"] hey goldslate looking good mate. Your gunna hate me for saying this but I can foresee an issue for you, the type of punch plate your using requires horizontal water flow to clear properly and I cant see that any water will make its way onto the screen to clear rocks out the way for you. The problem with punch plate is rocks fall into them and just sit there, unless there's upwards and sideways lift they clog quite easily. I think you will be putting your hand under that hopper constantly trying to clear the small rocks out not that that's the end of the world i'm just speaking from experience it can get a bit painfull. think grass sticks rocks etc. If you can get hold of some of this weave material in stainless it clears quite well even a small section to act as a ramp would help i think. if you get stuck i'm happy to cut you small piece and ship it to you.
