Some of the same brads are used on the lower part of the grille where it connects to the 'grille to bumper' splash apron. Some of them seem to be made of brass or am I hallucinating? Thanks in advance!

The only way I know is to cut them in the middle with side cutters then straighten them out and remove. root | | | | | Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 413 | They are actually rivets,not brads., They are the same as the ones used to attach the 2 hood halves to the center hinge.
The best way is to drill them out, or if you are careful the heads can be ground off, & tap them out with a punch.
I beleive replacement rivets are available as well as the tool to install them. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 97 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 97 | yes, they are like the brads on the hood halves ..... thank you so much and knowing replacements are available will help on the other end of the project ..... Jeff, do you know who sells them and/or the tool?
