slat grill photos needed

Post by 42GPW » Wed Sep 24, 2014 7:04 pm

I need some photos of the grill its self. 4 total. If you quarter it, basically from the middle out to all four corners so i can see how each slat is welded, bent, located. Hope that doesn't sound confusing? Or you can text them to me. No one around here has a grill to look at, and thats what im missing so ill have to make one. Thank you in advance.

Matt,

I have many photos of my grill, but sadly most are out of focus. Need to take more. The inner 1/4 inch rails are spot welded on
then welded on the side.

Jon,
Jeepdraw comes through again... In your list you mention the reproduction grill as being different than the original. Can you comment on the differences?

Hinrik, here are some photos and if you need more, let me know.

You can get the slat information and a drawing from Jon Rogers. Ask for Slat Rib H/Light Inner x 2. He also has other drawings you might get valuable info from. :)

Brian,
You're not going to believe this but....... after 5 or 6 years of having the original slat grill here belonging to Sean Elliott, he arrived on my doorstep just the other day and he now has it back in his possession. That was the first time I have seen Sean in that long.
There were comments in a previous post on the Gee about the differences, a Search may help find that. It lists the differences.

Hinrik........
