Stu, are your existing grilles fully intact (i.e. no missing bars)? If so, once you've found the replacements, I'd be interested in buying the old ones

Hi Paul,
if i find what im after you are more than welcome to mine, and yes they are all intact.

By late style, do you mean like the ones shown in this photo? I just took this photo last night for a local guy but he has the early ones. I have a pile a grills around so I can look at what I have in this style....

Thanks
Chris

I did a bit of poking about last night... I have a few that are good daily driver sort of quality. This sounds like what you already have. Have you thought about polishing yours up? Super fine steel wool to start with and then move to a paste alumn. polish....

Stuart,

I came across a NOS left side this summer - and I know where the single NOS right one is located...

Would NOS rather expensive ones interest you?
