My GTS was born 28 December 67. There’s no place on the broadcast sheet showing a nosepiece. I have a parts catalogue that shows the nose piece with its own part number. There’s also a picture of the nose piece with the attaching hardware.

There’s also a picture of the nose piece with the attaching hardware. If you can scan or photo that, would be excellent. My car is a Oct 1967 build, so could be it had it. Where on broadcast would it be listed? I need to lay it on top of my restored grille. If it matches well, then I am leaning to install. If the argents are way off and does not look right, that may break the deal. I dont want to repaint the NOS part.

I dont have this anymore but as you can see there was a thin square metal spacer that went against the grill bars where the top and bottom studs passed. May not have been original but I disassembled it from an original car many years back and there was one top and bottom, Hmm, that is interesting. Would like to see that plate as well if anyone can supply photos. Not on my part in box.

Me again... doing more searching and now see there should be a lower hole as well. There is a corresponding set of threads on the piece. Also, did they black out behind the ornament or is this someone's handy work? Why, no idea though. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NICE-USED-MOPAR...75.c10#viTabs_0Not liking the idea of drilling a lower hole as well.

The hole was punched from the factory not drilled. You can get a punch and die set to do it right, or you can drill it as you won't see it anyway. I thought the lower had a piece that sat behind the grill and was bolted through it. It has been a long time since I had one.

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
