Would anyone happen to have the dimensions handy for the grille screen of the VAC's? I've been trying to find a decent one for sale, but if not available, I thought I might fabricate one. I'd need to know the overall length and width, the hole sizes and locations, and the number of screen wires per inch so I got the right size mesh.

Thanks in advance!

Overall dimensions are: 18 3/8" high by 23 1/8" wide. Sheet metal frame at top and bottom is 1/2" and 2" on the sides. The trim plate at the bottom is centered and is 8 5/8" tall. It measures 1 3/4 " at the bottom and 7/16" at the top. The mounting holes are 5/16" dia. and are centered on the trim pieces. The top ones are 1 1/8" down from the top of trim while the bottom ones are 2" up from the trim strip edge. The trim strips are channels formed of light sheet metal and are spot-welded onto the screen. The screen wires measure 1/16" and have 1/8" spacing.

The screen that's on my '46 is mounted on the inside of the grill and secured by four bolts.

Also, at the very bottom of the grill is a half circle shaped screen, made of the same screen material, that mimics the shape of the grill. The straight edge of the material has been rolled between a folder over piece of tin. The screen is positioned horizontally and secured to the bottom grill crossmember with a single bolt. Unfortunately this piece of screen is prone to damage from the hand crank as mine is pretty shredded.

Check the trim strip dimensions on previous post: The strips measure 1 inch on the side pieces...NOT 2".

I'm thinking that screens were an option...My grill has no mounting holes for a grill screen, and no evidence that there ever was one on it...What do you think?

Well, I'm not sure, but I think you are correct that they might have been an option, though my grille has the four holes in it. since I am going to using mine around a lot of dust and chaffy conditions, I thougfh it would be a good idea to install one.

I found a screen for mine and I put it on the inside. Mine doesn"t have the metal strip in the middle like the one above. I also got the screen that goes in the bottom. To make them seal it had to go on the inside. Got mine on or I would try measuring. Do have a pic. before I started straighting. It is smaller at the top than the bottom? It over laped in the middle.
