Nose question

[PSloan]

A long time ago I saw a template that outlined where to cut the nose skin to convert a late nose to early and vice versa. First, does it work? And secondarily - does anyone have the template?

I've got a boner for all aluminum grills. Wouldn't mind having a set on my 76.

You just have to replace the area around the kidney. This is the only difference.

Hey Pat,

Think it was a common thing over in Germany when they ran out of "early" (or late?) nose panels a good few years back.

I honestly do not know if the tabs for mounting the grills to were in the same location (late v early) but you could cut the section out and include the two inner tabs each side, per the pics, and at least have then in the right place.

actually, the tabs and supports for the side grilles are different, too.

You have to come up with some way to retain the early grille, and remove

the material that held the plastic grilles, as it gets in the way of the metal

ones.

BTDT.
