My 1956 TR3 when purchased in 1975, had the grill surround but was 
missing the two joiner clips.  I went to a wrecking yard and looked 
for windshield join clips that were of a similar size and shape, 
found two - I don't recall on what and used slotted pan-head screws 
to mount them.

Jump forward 30+ years and a friend who in the late 1980's ran TRF 
Canada out of Niagara Falls Ontario, gave me a couple of boxes of 
stuff he'd collected to redo his 1956 TR3 - now long gone.  Included 
was the complete grill surround with joiners and clips.  I can 
probably dig these out and supply pics if you think this would be useful.

Cheers,

Brian
