    Can someone post pics and the measurements/sizes of the studs used to mount a 72 GS grille? Also.....I recall that the studs for some year skylark grilles were larger than the GS studs and would crack the GS grille mount. Is 72 one of those years?

    Thanks

    As I recall, I used four 2 inch studs (measured from end to end). Two in the middle, and one on the bottom of each side. On the top of each side I used a 3 inch stud. So four 2 inch studs and two 3 inch studs should work. Mine grille sits perfectly with this combination. The Skylark Custom pot metal grille had 4 inch studs that are too long. Hope this helps!
    ALSO- I may have some extra studs kicking around if you are in need (not positive, but could have a look if needed.

    I'll measure mine but I think I have 2 of the 2 inch studs.

    If you had a Custom grille on it, I believe you had two 2 inch studs and four 4 inch studs (going by memory!)
