Also, the unit was fastened with a slight skew and twist when I got it, so
I straightened that out too. A lot of the hardware was loose too.

The chrome looks really nice though, so I'm pretty happy!

Hope your's has better hardware.
Thanks for the heads up. I had planned to look it over good, I rebuilt my original grill, so if need be I'll rework what is necessary...Jim
