 Referring to the thread below "Original 8N Grille?" - I posted this photo and asked if my grille is the right one for my 1952 side-mount 8N I'm painting. Thanks for the many responses - and it turns out this is an earlier grille with top pins and holes drilled for a "Ferguson System" emblem. Now, I'm not much of a purist. It seems to me that the only difference here is top pins that couldn't be seen unless the grille were removed, and holes that could easily be either drilled or filled. It may that a lot of others see it this way, too - because with all this discussion, no one has told me that they want this grille for their 2N, 9N, or early 8N. Anyway, just in case this "rare" grille will help someone with their project - I'm willing to trade it for an 8N grille that's primed or sandblasted and in good condition. Just fix me up with a good 8N grille and pay the shipping, and we'll swap - I'm not trying to make any money on it. Or - as sad as it may be, this thing is sure starting to look a LOT like a 1952 grille to me. I'll give it a few more days in case I can help someone out - but I do want to finish my project. If no one wants it before, say, Tuesday Aug. 1, I'll weld those holes and turn it into a '52. Heck, maybe I'll just get a "Ferguson System" emblem for my '52 and really confuse people! Lemme know if you want this grille. Thanks, - Sam
