The lower grille on my 82 has a section hanging on by one vertical rib. I was looking on ebay for another and found one, but the seller says there are some broken one's on his too. Anyone have any success repairing these? I might as well try to fix mine instead of buying another and try fixing it. Thanks

I bet a radiator repair shop would be able to solder it up for you?

They are aluminum I think. Probably get a used one for the price of the repair
