Difference in 40 & 41 grill chin
 

Blew a seal in my floor jack today which allowed the woodie to crash to earth and pretty much destroy the chin piece below the grill. I don't see any sign of a repro piece for a 41 but there are 40 repros available. Does anyone know how much of a difference there is between the 40 & 41 chin? If they are pretty similar I might be able to cobble one together that would work while I look for a real one. thanks

Sorry that happened but it is a good reminder why you NEVER get under anything that relies on hydraulics. Seals can let go without any hint. Included are front end loaders with forks hooked on the bucket, ANYTHING hydraulic has bad potential.
Glad it was the chin of the car instead of yours.
