First gen grile repairs

[HO455]

I pulled the Bravada grille off my Blue Blazer and replaced it with a GMC grille. Unfortunately the GMC grille was missing both mounting tabs on the bottom corners. (Photo #1 in red as I failed to get a photo before the repair )Apparently they are fragile as they were also broken on the Bravada grille when I bought it back in 2002. Those tabs I repaired with fiberglass (Photo #2 upper) which has held up well over the years despite not being very attractive.

This time I will use common plumbing ABS cement (Photo #4) to attach small pieces of ABS plastic to the grille (Which is made of ABS shown by information on the back side of the grille in photo #3 as well as that the grille I got is an aftermarket replacement. More on that later) to replace the missing parts.

Once more I failed to get photos! Basically I cleaned up the broken areas and cut pieces to replace the missing parts. In addition I cut a larger additional piece as a backer. (Photo #5) Once both were glued in place it made a very solid repair.
