Default Re: 35-36 truck grill lacing

On further reflection, I should point out that there seem to be two varieties of reproduction clips for the hood lacing that have been produced. There are the "good" ones that have the straight section where the rivets are attached curved to fit the oval profile of the '32 hood lacing material and the stamped-in depressions in the radiator shell and firewall. Those would not be the best choice for the subject application where the surface of the radiator shell is flat and the lacing has a bar bell profile. The "not-so-good" (for '32s) reproduction version where the straight section is flat would work best for this '35-'36 application as well as the '33-'34 commercial/big truck radiator shell/grilles which have the same type of lacing and clips. In fairness, maybe whomever is making them have the '33-'36 application in mind and not the '32 application.
