What I did was lay the mesh over the screen on the centre tube and mark the circumference of the screen onto the mesh with a black texta type marking pen.
Once the mesh is marked get a quality pair of scissors and trim the mesh to the circumference pf the screen.
By doing this when you lift the top plat out the mesh comes with it.
To ensure it always stays together I bolted the mesh to the screen.
@Mashman,
I used a small silicon tube cut down the length of it and it worked quite well, but I found the molded seal just a bit easier to use. I cant remember off hand the size of the tube I used but it was fairly small.

Cheers Dicko, I just found my snips at the bottom of my 'lost' tool box. (The misses thinks I left in the UK) Will you send me a new mesh screen, if it doesn't work?
