Anyone using a repop grill?

The grill in my 85 has most of the tabs broken off and the zip ties aren't cutting it anymore. I recently pulled the entire front end apart and meticulously reassembled it getting it square and gapped just right. I discovered that the square mounting holes in the filler panel are spaced 3/8 wider than those on the grill. No wonder I could never get the screws to match up! And then I noticed the dreaded "Made in Taiwan" marking.
Obviously the PO replaced the original at some point.
So the big question:
Has anyone tried a replacement from LMC, RockAuto, etc and did it actually fit like the original?
