Build your own. I have restored two H's, a W6 and a A using a homemade dolly and a pick hammer. Two of the grilles were about half of there normal depth due to being run into fences and the like. I cut down a piece of flat bar to the inside thickness of the louvers. I then ground it down to a rounded shape similar to the shape of some of my other normal dollies.
