I bought some Mozi mesh net off Ebay a few years ago for my Armo Mk1. It was that long ago I don't have the details of the seller on record now on Ebay but it was far better than the original and only cheap.
I sat on the bank whilst fishing and sowed it on by hand using a strong manmade polyester thread that does not rot. It took a long time because I was working with the bivvy set up so it was awkward to do like that and could have done a better job if I had actually pinned it in place first. If I recall as well, it was also awkward because I left the old mesh in place till I sewed the new piece on in case something went wrong as with no mesh on the doorway I would have been eaten alive on the night. Once the new one was in place, I cut the old one out.
In reality, I could have done a better job at home as well by hand with the bivvy collapsed and the old mesh removed rather than set up and it would have been quicker, or even used the sewing machine which is what I usually use when making or repairing something.

Cheers fellas. I didnt realise you could buy it on ebay. Thought it was a 'from the manufacturer' thing. Nice 1. I'll have a gander.
carpy09. Thanks for that mate. I'll give him a try if I mess things up.
Zack. Sound like a mission. I'm gonna ask my mam to stitch it on for me I reckon, she used to be a machinist. I'm crap at sewing.
