2redrovers 21,400 Posted September 21, 2022 Ok guys, the place I'm at has a fairlane.. ZG? ZF? I'm not sure on the difference but he has this front grille on now But he wants to put in this grille set up Problem is that the headlight buckets and brackets they have don't seem to match with the new grille. Does anyone know what parts he needs to use to make it bolt on correctly? Do you have any head light buckets that will suit this in your stash that you would sell (for good coin)? Any help you can give would be appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deankxf 20,288 Posted September 21, 2022 @2redrovers on the car is a ZG grille, the one you want to fit is a ZF grille i always thought they were a direct swap. if not Luke would know, he's been wrecking them for years. his details below.

2redrovers 21,400 Posted September 21, 2022 They seem to run different buckets if for no other reason than the bolt holes don't match up. Good to know what letters it is though 1 deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2redrovers 21,400 Posted September 21, 2022 Looks like he's found a set of ZF buckets on ebay. We just held these brackets up for comparison and they look like the right ones (shorter than the ones he has here). 1 deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,312 Posted September 22, 2022 thats a weird one,note large single compliance plate that means its a 72 or xa style car,later xa in 73 started with the 2 smaller compliance plates,also orange rocker covers on a 351 is fuel saver version of the 351,very rare,most where in xb era.not sure about the grills,i would just put the correct one on,and to me it looks like a zf model car with zg bits ? 1 2redrovers reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting about the plate, Greg and I were guessing and assumed it had two but one was covered under the black insulation bit. I'm not familiar with these as I've never had to work on them before.
