6.0.1 Grille
Grilles produced before sometime near mid-april ‘42 did not have indent to provide clearance for seam in center of hood.
Hood welting rivets: Rivets installed head-up with legs bent under lip of grille. These rivets were S2 finished.
Air seal “felt”: Original was some sort of burlap cored, coarse fiber felt. This seal was attached to the grill air shield sheet metal with wire staples which should be visible from the exterior of the vehicle.
Headlight hinges & hardware: Ford headlamp brackets are distinguishable from the Willys type by noting that Ford hinges are spot welded to the lower side of the brackets. The brackets are fastened to the grille with two cone-point hex bolts each. The bolts are installed from the bottom (i.e with nuts up) and the hinge brackets are to be fastened underneath the top flange of the grille. The hinges should not show wear form contact with the hood.
