Here is a pick of the bottom of an otherwise straight grill for my BN. It's the only think left in my restoration (the rest of the tractor came out great...pics soon). That whole bottom area is very weak, and rusted through. The lower bolt hole area is very good. I'm not sure how to repair it. The easiest and cheapest woud be to just fiberglass it. I think I could do a pretty good job, and no one would ever notice it. The downside is that this seems the least permanent. Second I guess would be to form a new peice of metal and rivet it in. I don't have a riveter, and am not handy at shaping sheet metal. Third would be to have someone weld it up. I don't know who could do it in Western NY, and I'm not willing to ship it anywhere. Does anyone have any ideas as to what worked for them? Take Care Steve
