i just bought a used irate radiator grill and just wanted to check on how to mount it. it has 2 bolt holes on the top that match up but nothing for the bottom. the stock one is a rubber grommet mount, does anybody know how to mount the bottom?

thanks

I just did this too. Cut the mount off the old one and use automotive decal tape to stick it to the Irate one.


Here's mine:

I like that cover .Gotta look into one of those .

There are two holes in the sides of the radiator that line up with the holes in the side of the grill. I used very small zip ties to hold it in place. For the bottom I recommend super-gluing some thick rubber grommets to it to reduce rattle (I have not done this as of yet though).

For the bottom I cut the fitting from the stock rad cover and riveted to the irate cover

Good idea. I may ditch the tape and go this route

good idea.. its a little odd that they didn't build it into the cover, they're cool looking though.
