Question for all UK readers of the brickboard 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Dharvey on  Thu Jan 2 19:23 CST 2003 [RELATED]

On pages 5-16 and 5-18 of my 1998 edition Haynes manual for the 240 series, there are illustrations that show a 240 with an 1986-93 front end and an eggcrate grille.

Looks nice. That grille was never sold in the US that I know of. Is this a UK-only version?

If so--hmmmm. Is there any source for ordering such a grille, either new or (preferably) used, for delivery to a US address?

I have seen the web site with instructions on mounting a 700 series eggcrate grille on a 240. He appears to have done a good job, but it can't be as solid a mount as a grille made for this application. Also, the fit can't be as clean as it would be with the proper grille.

If something can be had, I would rather order and wait rather than try to put in a 700 grille.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Doug Harvey
