Grille Replacement

Am in the process of replacing the beat up grille and surround on my '72 Blazer with a good used one. Ground off the rivet heads to remove the original surround, but I'd prefer to use bolts to attach the replacement. Any recommendations for bolts or fasteners to use?

Thanks!

Re: Grille Replacement

Go to the hardware store. Get some stainless pieces that work.

Re: Grille Replacement

Stainless slotted machine screws can be used on the top (by hood bumpers) and bottoms. I would use the aluminum pop rivets to reattach the face for a factory look. you can dab them with satin black after they are installed in the areas that are in black.
