Title: Grill-to-frame center mount?
Post by: 1955CJ-5 on October 12, 2013, 02:28:33 PM

Of all the pictures I took I don't seem to have one of the center grill mount, before I took it apart...

So does the tab on the grill just mount flat against the tab on the frame cross-tube, or is there some sort of rubber spacer or something in between the two tabs?

Thanks!
Randy

Hi Randy,
You would add a spacer similar to the body mounts.  The thickness would be chosen based on the best alignment for the fenders, grille, and hood.  The idea is to make the seam between the hood and the fenders, equal from front to back.

OK Tim that makes sense.... I think I have a spare body-frame insulator that I could cut up....

It looks like the idea here will be to leave everything loosely attached until I  get it aligned and then tighten everything down...
