First, is has a couple breaks between the vertical bars, I guess they are just from stress over the years as it is the original grill. Do I need to get those welded up or are they ok as long ase the grill is secured?
Second, there are some places in seccurring my grill missing screws. I put some screws in but they vibrated out not long after. Is there a certain type of screw to use or a better way to fix this? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,251 "Hey! I sound like Darth Vader!! | | "Hey! I sound like Darth Vader!!

My thought would be to use 6 penny or larger size nails and JB Weld on the backside of the grill. Some sort of clamping jig might be needed to hold the grill pices in place while the epoxy cures. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2016 Posts: 236 DLBrooks | | DLBrooks Joined: Jun 2016 Posts: 236 | Are the breaks at the bottom of the grill and maybe some of the mounting points? And I take it is a painted grill?
If at the bottom of the verticals, I would remove the grill- sanblast - and place a 1/4 or 3/16 inch bare steel rod inside the entire bottom bending the rod to the contour as I did on my 42. MIG tack in place on bottom/back side rejoining any seperated pieces. Weld other breaks as necessary.
