Satoshi Grill

[firebane]

So finding a grill around my parts in good enough shape to attemp this usually ends up in finding one with broken clips.

Now I have one I can pick up but the bottom left clip (facing the front) is broken. If I was to cut this clip off and only use 5 or 6 of the 7 will it cause me any grief?

I know there is 4 across the top 1 main on the bottom and two smaller ones of the left and right and I can't see how missing 1 or 2 will cause any problems but I'd thought I'd ask the expurts :P

as long as it doesnt rattle it'll be fine

i cant imagine it will rattle or be of any problem with 1 broken clip

Fire,

The OEM grilles are made to seat and engage each of the clips. I would imagine having 6 out of the 7 seating/engaging all the way, you should be good to go. I just bought a grill that was a taiwanese knock off...I will not do this EVER again :shake:. The clip assemblies were round while the factory ones are not. After some tinkering (Dremel + file), the knock off will not seat all the way, in the clips, thus rattling...I have learned my lesson. Just grateful that this was only a $50 lesson...Hope this helps.

Regards,

BWJ

I am missing a clip in my grill and haven't heard/noticed any rattles or problems.

I've got one missing too, no rattles here either.

Well the one I have it wasn't entirely broken off so I just grabbed some good ole crazy glue and glued it back!

Now its time to get some mesh and the logo and start hacking

should be all good with one clip up top n on the bottom...and the rest zap straps. at least thats how mine is bein held up...its a bit rough, but it matches the rest of the truck
