I just got one from ken and put it on lad week. I have an '84 GL that it fit perfectly on! Here's what I did: 1. Remove proud, old, faithful grill 2. Line up headlights using new RSV grill as a template 3. Drill holes and mount lights on interior horizontal braces and wire to taste. 4. When re-mounting the new grill make sure to put the bottom clips in first - the outer ones are tricky. the top four pins lie right up and snap right in 5. And lastly - using the middle turn fastener from the old grill, put it on the new grill and you should be set. Hope this helps - AB Andrew Grebneff wrote: > My South African pair of grills has arrived and I notice that the upper > grill's attachments are different to my 84's. > > In the 84 the upper edge of the grill attaches by 3 screwlike 1/4-turn > fasteners; one at each end, one in the middle. > > The RSA grill upper edge has a hole in the center (for a turn-fastener?) > and each end has 2 steel pins which obviously clip into receptacles my van > hasn't got. > > Ideas anyone? > > Note that I don't have my van available here to check. > > Andrew Grebneff > 165 Evans St, Dunedin, New Zealand > fax 64 (3) 479-7527 > <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> > www.goingplatinum.com/member/vw1 > www.my-successcenter.com/member/vw1 > www.aciimoney.com/index.shtml?vw1 > VW & Toyota vans, Toyota diesels and Macintoshes rule
