eglaisi_91pathy Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hey all, Im gonna make a custom (by custom I mean I cant afford a Nissan or AM one, so Im building one) Grille guard for my '91 XE. Its pretty smooth sailing, except, im not sure where to mount the brackets, i took a picture of where I thought the AM ones would go, judging by pictures. I also attached a drawing of the guard, suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unccpathfinder Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 where the tow hooks mount there should be 2 holes on each side almost parallel to the ground next to the things u circled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Pickles Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 (edited) Yep, I also added a 2nd hook, then used those points to mount my guard/fancy light holder. The first attempt had the right idea but failed (duct taping Red's mouth closed :X ) but version 2.0 is solid and going strong. Sorry for the crappy quality on the 2nd pic, I couldn't find the camera so I used my phone. Edited October 4, 2006 by Mr. Pickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eglaisi_91pathy Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Is it a bad idea to use the points I circled for support of the guard? I just had an idea... If I take off the one hook, use those holes for mounting, and use the holes i was talking about. heres a pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
