Re: custom grille ?

You should just use some sheet metal screws to attach it to the vertical supports you have circled in the pictures. If it doesn't fit the opening, then you probably bought the wrong one.

Re: custom grille ?

if yours is like mine and there are some brackets at the mounting point, try swapping them sides if they dont line up with the vertical supports, otherwise use the self tapping sheet metal srews
