hey i scored a ed grill and i am wanting to fit it to my eb series 2. when i tried to put it on it lines up correct except for a approx 5cm space.
which indicates it needs spacers and longer bolts. anyone done this before and if so where best place to get parts from. i also have an aftermarket bonnet. i dont think it matters though cause the eb grill fits perfect. |

yeh, that part of the bonnet is different on EB/ED as you've already noticed.
washers and long bolts are your friend. try your local hardware shop, or get an ED bonnet.

the eb grille looks better than the ed 1 imo anyway.
some ed ones with the mesh looks prety good tho |

hey thanks waggin.
i think i like the ed grill better but i dont know wat it will look like on my car. that why i wanna put on and see. yeh the mesh does look nice or i might just paint the middle grey strip my colour as well and see how that comes up. not quite sure if i like the chrome bit either. |

Hey daro - I have purchased an ED grille, didn't like the EB one very much - what length bolts did you use ?? |

You will only need 3 bolts & 3 nuts for adjust for right fit on bonnet, do not overtighten them.

You will only need 3 bolts & 3 nuts & 6 washers , do not overtighten the nuts or you can damage the grill mounting holes.

thanks daro for the info
the mesh idea is great, i think i might paint the chrome bit (not a big fan) the same colour, remove the grey bit and put the bigger mesh behind. carl to make it look even more different i'll see wat it looks like without the ford badge. |
