Would someone send me a digital photo that illustrates how the grill is attached to the body. I am in the process of reinstalling the grill in the BJ7 and suspect that some of the connecting devices are missing.

Thanks,

Ray,
Difficult area to take photos of when everything is installed. Here is an illustration from the Body Service Parts List that shows the exploded view. There are three of the No. 14 studs that go along the top and two of the No. 15 studs for the bottom left and right side. There are also three sheetmetal flanges that pop-rivet to the lower grille opening of the shroud along the bottom (not shown in this illustration).

grille details

I also found the following step by step on the Healey list which might help.

1) Slide the horizontal grille bar section up behind the opening and insert
one hex 1/4" bolt, lock washer and flat washer through the bottom of the
central support to which the bars are rivited, screwing it into the captive
nut in the center bottom tang of the shroud.
2) Position the polished stainless steel brow against the flange of the top
of the grille opening in the shroud and insert a similar bolt and washer set
throught the top of the center support, through the hole in the top of the
grille opening of the shroud and into the captive hut at the center of the
brow. Install the left and right bolt and washer sets into the other (left
and right) captive nuts in the brow.
3) Position one of the air deflectors that goes between the back of the
grille and ratiator and attach its top flange to the upper cross bar running
in front of the radiator.
4) Using one of the lower grille bolt and washer combinations, insert it
through the lower front tab of the air deflector, through the outer grill
support bar and into the captive nut in the outer tab of the shroud.
5) Repeat this installation of the other air deflector.
6) Tie the bottom-rear corners of the air deflector together using the angle
strap and 10-32 screws, washers and nuts.
7) Very carefully flex the bottom chrome finisher as you slide it over the
bottom lip of the grille opening in the shroud. The ends of this chrome
piece should be "opened" up a bit so that they will overlap the combined
thickness of the shroud grille opening and the bottom corner of the upper
stainless brow.

Cheers,
John
 
HI John, I think the detailed instructions are for a 100-6---Keoke???
 
John,

Thanks for the photo, it really helps getting the proper prospective for the parts.

How may of the studs #14 are used? Moss only lists one as being required. From looking at the diagram it would appear that there would be one on the left and right of the top part of the surround.

Hi Keoke,

You are right ... I didn't read it carefully. I'll look around to see if I can find something for the vertical grilles!

Cheers,
John

Yes, it appears that Moss has this wrong. The parts list has three #14 studs being used to hold the surround and slat assembly (grille) to the body.

Cheers,
John
