Default 32 Ford grill measurements

Hey guys,

I was looking for an original 32 Ford grill for Christmas but couldn't find one in my price range so I ended up buying a new reproduction one from Vintique. I'm going to be using it on my 31 Model A coupe. The Vintique shell is nice but it lacks the holes for the headlight wires and horn wires.

Can someone with an original 32 Ford grill get me those hole sizes and tell me the location of them from the bottom of the grill shell? I have a 31 Ford grill and if the hole sizes and measurements are the same I'll just use them from the 31 that I have.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

at work here i have an old hacked off 32 grill hanging.
heres some crude measurements.
11.5 down from where i measured.

7/8 or 1" in to hole center.
the hole itself is a strong 7/8"

i suppose somebody got a new torch for Christmas in the 60s and tried it out on this grill.

If you look at the side of the shell there should be a faint center punch on each side where the holes go. The ones I used have had it.
