Re: Grill support pannel
Sounds like either a really bad repop or possibly you received the wrong year, which happens more often than you would think (in general, I'm not singling out LMC).

Re: Grill support pannel
Do you still have the original one? Compare the two extensively and see if you find any differences, especially related to different bolt holes

Re: Grill support pannel

Re: Grill support pannel
I had picked one up years ago in a yard before they even started reproducing them. I ended up just centering the grill and redrilled the holes as needed.
