I posted the note below in the parts wanted forum but now I'm thinking about making this fastener myself.

A couple of years ago "I found this neat radiator cover under the seat of the '53 3100 that I bought at auction: https://www.dropbox.com/s/euvju6hr1aha3tp/Radiator%20cover.jpg?dl=0 I also found these installation instructions: https://www.dropbox.com/s/chhkohi00sw7fa3/Radiator%20cover%20installation%20instructions.pdf?dl=0
Problem is that the "special fasteners" referred to are nowhere to be found. Anyone know where I could find some?"


But the illustration on the left in the instructions shows a "screen assembly" which means I'm missing more parts. Has anyone seen one or have a clue about how this assembly looks? Thanks

Cool find.
Tractors use similar. Do a search for "cub cadet grille springs". They should work.
The "screen assembly" is the cover itself, not some additional part.

Good luck.
