This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Could someone post a picture or pictures of what the screws for the stainless moldings and lower filler on a 70 gs grille look like? Thanks, Tim

    Tim, This a a good question I am trying to figure as well. Mine were missing. I did use some stainless screws with a V shaped lower section the fit in the slot for the stainless trim. They look perfect and my guess they are close to original. I am not sure on the lower trim under the grill however. Hopefuly someone with an original can check for us.

    The original screws for the "J" moldings are small chrome plated phillips head countersunk screws.

    If I remember correctly the ones for the lower "body colored" steel piece are flat head slotted sheet metal screws. It's been years since I have played with them, so someone should check this.

    Duane, The countersunk type is what I used in stainless so they look the part of chrome. AMK has them. The lower trim type are the mystery. I used black phillips pan type but I do not think they are correct. They are both #8 size anyway.

    I am 98% sure phillips head screws are wrong for that location.
