Hi All

Can anyone tell me if a 78/79 series front grill fit a hzj 75 series.
I have studied photos carefully and they seem an exact match hole for hole. Wanting to fit a chrome one to my 75

Thanks for the advise guys.

Theres chrome 78/79 series grills on ebay for $120 bucks. chaep as.
Ive already got the chrome blinkers a while ago. Fit perfectly.

Im dead sure this grill will fit 75 series, there an exact match when you image one from a 75 over one from a 79 series with the aid of computer technology..gotta love it

79 grill will fit straight on but leave gaps at either end where indicators sit unless you use 79 indicators also.

So do all the screw holes for the indicators and grill line up to? Or do you just have to tek screw em on over the original positions?

with a bit of work it can go pretty close, sometimes you need to adjust the middles ones or bend the lower tabs across depending on year model etc.
