Hello:

I'm working on my VAC grille and noticed a chunk of metal missing along the bottom left front edge, about where the steering pitman is located.

Yesterday I saw this grille on EBay, and noticed that there is a lower brace insode the grille that I have not seen on any of the three grilles I have.

Was this standard equipment? Could it be that the torn out chunk of metal was where this brace attached?

I think it might really stiffen up the grill if I were to add it back in, but just wanted some opinions first.

Thanks as always.

Frank: My grill has no lower support but is in poor shape. The parts manual picture clearly shows a lower brace but the lower brace is somewhat different than the picture you posted. The posted picture brace actually maked more sense in allowing for clearance of the steering arm. From what I have seen the late VAC grill were different.

My '51 VAC adj. w. front has that offset brace as shown in the photo. My '50 and '48 VAC adj.WF both have a straight brace in about the same place. My '47 VAO doesn't have a brace; neither does either of my single-front trikes (a '47 and a '48).
