72 Charger front grill - broken spigots

[Kenneth]

on my front grill is unfortunately broken spigots (and disappeared) - see pic, does anyone have ideas / suggestions for how I can either bring back to original or similar without having to buy find a "new" grill

Not saying this is the best way, but when i fix stuff like that i ask, what purpose does it serve. Do i need to keep the fix hidden, or can it show a little? If you have the studs, just find some industral plastic glue on it and let them sit for a day. If not you can always make some from something similer and use the glue and let it sit. This may not solve your problem, but it could jumpstart some ideas.

You could try 2 part epoxy and those plastic anchors made for drywall screws.

If not, those 72 non-hidden grilles are not that expensive.

I almost bought a beautiful one from the U-pull to resell on ebay, but I watched a couple and they didn't sell at $50-$60!

I can make you some replacements, all you would need to do is drill the missing units out a little and epoxy the new ones in. Post a pic of the front of the grills so I know if I have the same grill to get them from.

Then how many you need?

 

[Kenneth]

Sounds great
I think I in need for 24 - I take a pic and a count how many I need

Magnum- you, sir, are a nice guy. Helping out a fellow Mopar fiend like that is really cool. Made me smile.

it means a lot to me you want to help so that even the small details can be maintained - what you do, shows how much Mopar Brotherhood is - thank you

Can you cut one off as flush as possible? I have a feeling my buddy is in no hurry to get any for himself and won't bring me a grill this week-end?! It may take time for him to bring me the part I need to copy? If this is OK with you, post "Yes" and I'll PM you my address and Phone #. Thanks

 

[Kenneth]

Yes

 

[MAGNUM GT XS22L9R]

OK, they made it! Building mold now!

 

[Kenneth]

sounds super !

Update: Mold is done and making them now. Anybody else need these?

Rebuild the part by scratch so it would look like new!

You are a good guy. How about some pics of the mold and the process for us in the peanut gallery?
