Title: black adaptor plate from a facelift grill
Post by Torbayboy on Oct 19^th, 2019, 2:48pm

On the facelift grill the middle 4 nuts are actually bolts, there is an adaptor bar some 60cm (24" for a leave voter) that has 4 sets of 2 holes in it, this adapts the bonnet fixings by bridging the gap between the new type grille and the bonnet.
Anyone have one around also the 4 bolts that hold it in positon on the grille itself (not the small bolts that secure through the holes in the bonnet).
Thanks Roy

Hi that looks about right it bridges the gap on the late grille to enable it to be attached to the bonnet by 4 bolts (the captive bolts from the original do not fit as they have changed the mounting format) also required are 4 oversize bolts to hold it all together which I do not have these are unusual as they have big threads to go into the plastic "bosses" in the grille itself.

I think the bosses are supposed to be moulded in but as they don't grease bolts they rust in so the insert comes out when you undo the bolt.
