[TR] TR3A Grill

[Bill Beecher]

A follow-up question if you please:

The flat grill has installed very nicely on the '58 with a little re-work of
the apron that needed to be done.  However, the bottom of the grill does not
come all the way out to the edge of the apron.  From the shape of the grill
edge it looks as if it should overlap the edge of the apron opening all the
way around  but to do this one would have to bend the grill left-to-right. 

The curvature at the top and bottom of the apron opening are perfectly
aligned so I am wondering now where the correct placement of the grill lies?

Comments and pictures would be most helpful....

Thanks,

Bill B

Far East price impression after market @#$#@, should be concaved, your grill
opening I'm sure is just fine, original is very hard to find, might have to
buy a used have it refinished, cost is more, what's wrong with your original
one.  "FT"
