52 - 3 Grill Part Needed
-
I am looking for the small tin piece which sits behind the Grill Light. This piece is black and connects the top of the grill lamp to the top of the radiator tie panel ( the panel which the hood latch bottom mounts) The top grill seal runs across the radiator tie panel, up over the needed piece and continues to the other side of the car across the tie panel.
This is not the piece that the light bulb snaps in behind the plastic lens.
Can you help?
This is the last piece, HOPEFULLY, I need to complete the accident damage on my 52 Com 8 convertible
Thanks

Lewis-
I did want you to know that I went out this morning and looked for the piece you lack, as I have a lot of duplicate parts for my '52 'vert. Unfortunately, I only found one of this particular piece so far. I've got a couple other places to look, but I probably do not have an extra. Have you tried Bill A. or Jim Harmon in OR? Surely, one of those guys would have one. -
I have a front grill assembly out in the yard I will see if I can figure ou what piece you are looking for.

rmcfhudson-
It's about 4" square and actually mounts directly above the Hudson Insignia in the grill . . . I think it has 3 mounting screws on top and is dome shaped in the middle to match the center grill piece (the chrome piece that holds the insignia. -

If you don't come up with one, I know for a fact Glen Johnson is parting out a '52 Hornet Sedan. He's picking it up today. There is surely one on that car, as it is 98% complete. -

I went and looked too. Try Dave Kostansek, I have bought some small misc body parts off of him for my '52. I think one off a '51 may also fit, as the grill is the same as the '52. -

'51 is different than the '52-3. '51 has a higher medallion. This is kind of like an access plate,2 screws hold it down to the front valance and 1 screw goes through the medallion into this piece. -

Check the following picture... I believe this is a picture showing the piece in question... it is a 52 Hornet but the part should be the same.

re: Ken Cates reply. The picture does not show the part. It is domed and connects the chrome for the grill lamp to the upper most horizontal piece shown in the pic. It is as Russell described
This is not a rare part unfortunately no one seems to save them when they pull off the grill. I have 2 grills and neither one had this piece on it.
Please if you can help let me know
Also, I have a real nice, restored one for a 51 if anyone needs it -
Lew, I think this is what you need. I just have to see if it is 52/53

Lew, if you haven't found the grille piece you need, I have one you can have for shipping cost. Best, Glen
