Yes you can get them, I've seen a few DII with the ME Chicken wire / mesh grill.

Just added a TEFBA filter and (its not blocked no) max now 102 at idle, but straight back to 100 once thermos do their thing. I think it is just the filter element, so no problems with that. If I go hard core offroading I will probably just remove the filter element, but because it does not go past 102, I suspect it will be fine just to leave it there too.

What is your ignition timing should be 4 BTDC without cats, if its too advanced you'll end up lifting the water temp.
