Levin rotating grills, mounting?
Hi there

Got my hands on some Rotating grills for my Levin, but does any one have a schematic of have to mount them? Can't figure it out where to mount the radiator hoses and so on.

Have a look at this, may answer your questions. If not, I may have more detail if I dig around, but only in hard copy. I can't scan at the moment.

I can fax or post if you PM your detail.

Thanks man..

Yeah sure there will come pics Smile

But have to decide which grill i'm going to use first, the rotating which is used and not so good looking, or my brandnew Glass grill (Which probably will look best on a freshly painted car...

Glass grille looks heaps better, plus with the rotating grille you need to cut radiator hoses and so on, plus will weigh heaps with all the crap required to operate them properly.

Edit, after looking at your great build threrad, I am guessing you already have them! But shall leave my post anyway.

Remember there are various brackets that attach to the headlights for mounting the assorted grilles securely. Really if you are going to put in the factory foglights, you need the specific factory brackets to do it properly, cable ties just don't cut it in this case. You also need these brackets to mount the grille properly too.

These are the foglight / glass grille brackets, in case you don't already have them.

I think the foglights break up the grille nicely. Loved your build thread by the way.
