Satoshi Grill

firebane · 06-30-2007, 03:35 PM

So trying to find a grill in my area that doesn't have 1 or 2 broken clips is pretty tough and the ones that are usually broken are the bottom outside ones.

My question is that are these two clips needed as I know there is 4 across the top and 1 main one on the bottom.

Thx

There are 3 on the top I think and 4 on the bottom.....you need them all or the grill will pop out in one spot. Just look on ebay. Thats where I got mine

forget zip ties, they are big and ugly. Use safety wire. It is not near as obvious

or some bailing (sp?) wire

I broke one of my clips by mistake when i had to take it off and i just popped it back on and it sit perfect. Even after a 1500 mile road trip it was perfect. so 1 clip is not a problem. and even 2 on differnt side should not be a problem. plus like said you can use wire/zip tie. Just drill a hole on the inside of the grill so that is can't be seen.

Ya.....x2 on the safety wire, it'll hold up longer then zip ties
