    4 hole horn grills ?

    Is there already a thread that discusses the variations of the early 4 hole horn grills? Thanks, and Happy New Year.

    Thanks, Chuck. My issue is with proper fit. How do you determine if you need a 1,2,3 or 4? Is there a measurement that corresponds with those numbers?

    They were made in different sizes and then fitted to the car to see what size would fit best.

    Given the hand built nature of the very early cars it makes sense.

    Since the 4 hole grills are brass it's easiest to fit before chrome. You can cut down or build up with brazing and get them just right.
