    Hello everyone. I am missing parts on my 53 Victoria grille. These are the ends that wrap around the fender. Can anyone tell me or show me a picture of what hardware I am missing please? Thanks 7CEB19FD-DD5C-4241-8E6D-E36EBE746FC8.jpeg DA7EDB46-5376-4708-A846-51737CC5B403.jpeg 68FB497F-6830-4538-BFA8-5DB286AEE5DE.jpeg

    if I recall what you are missing is what I call capture nuts they would be in the grille wrap around.they were more than likely 1/4'' co****.you might want to try and j-b weld a nut to the back the trick will be getting it centered as if not you will have a problem when bolting it up as it will not be lined up properly.capture nut may not be right term as they are pinched in at the time of manufacture

    I think they're commonly called cage nuts...

    I bought the 1/4-20 cage nuts from McMaster-Carr. I think it cost about $9.00 for a bag of 25.
