Change grille insert out on 75
Went to change out my grille insert this morning (I got a classic 75 blazer grille from dragonball) and i hit a snag. I have a hood release handle which is offset to the right as you look at the hood? the Grille insert i have has a hole in the middle to accommodate a center mounted hood release and the brace which fits behind the grille doesnt accept the offset release (or won't without being cut). I think it should be an easy change but what parts would i need and is this a quick fix to change out the release handle or do i need a different grille and mounts?

Re: Change grille insert out on 75
This isn't the same dragonball. My center support has an assymetric bit at the top for the offset handle for the hood release. Also the offset release handle does not fit with teh grille. Before the center brace you sent me can work and before the grille can fit i need to change out the offset side handle for release for a center handle. This is my current quandary. Don't suppose you have a center hood release handle you could fling my way do you?

Re: Change grille insert out on 75
I have a few but send me a picture of what it is your talking about with the offset. Hate to send you something and have you not need it. That's why I asked if you had an internal hood release. If you have an external only then I'm confused

Re: Change grille insert out on 75
here is a pic of what I have. Finger is pointing to the handle for the hood release, which is as you can see off center. if you look you can see the center brace which is assymetric at the top to accomodate the off center handle. The actual latch itself is centered perfectly and appears to be identical to all other center handle hood releases that I've seen. The grille you sent and the center brace are for that hood release with a center handle.
