Late grill outer lug repair

Post by itchyfeet »

I have had an early grill on the tin top since I bought it, What2do ( Mitch) kindly gave me late grill but the outer lugs were broken.

Finally got around to fixing it and fitting today, pics to share :D

The same late grill on the Pop top is also broken so it looks to me like a design flaw, the early grill has much thicker plastic here

measured up and cut some L shapes from Nylon with a hacksaw, doesn't need to be too accurate

Drilled through, the grill was drilled first and the L shape marked then drilled in a vice, then the final grill hole made, try to drill the whole thing in one go would break the grill I think.

add cable tie

fits great

Now to do the pop top
