Countach front vent grill

I,m making a pair of front vent grills out of stainless instead of aluminum, does anyone have the correct gauges in metric mm , see attached photo, 3 mm or 4 mm gauge ? height of mounting bracket & bushing.... Thanks for any help....

Just my 2 cents, but better to make it original in aluminum . These cars are getting valuable and it’s worth doing correctly

Height of bushing: 15mm
Thickness of slats: 3mm
Height of mounting bracket: 15mm

 

Appreciate it Michael ! Attached photos of the conversion project I did for my customer , off with the US bumper and installed Euro bumper ,I did the aluminum bonnet work also. Of course the vent grills are different between the two styles of bumpers. I like to double check when in doubt ! I,ll post some photos when have these vents finished ! Thank you very much Michael !!

The slats are all identical, but the holes have different locations. The bushes I don't know but nothing spectacular.

Thanks Raymond , I was just looking at your site the other day , I seen what your talking about the the bolt holes have a different position onto the aluminum slats so the vent has proper angle while mounted inside the bumper pocket . I will pre-fit my mock up patterns to fit before making actual parts like you do. Ok, really appreciate it Raymond ! My brother was over in Switzerland a couple years back with his friend , said it,s real beautiful in the Alps !

I got mine as Lamborghini pn true Terry,Ultimate Motorworks,Orlando,He is no longer there(doing Al Burtonis estate) very simple parts,i would do them myself if doing it again. In fact,during my conversion,or the part of it ,if you like, i found lots of parts are hand made basic simple ones,wich poss makes a Countach resto easier and slightly less costly to the fabricating skilled.

 

If you want ones recreated like OEM, I know just he guy K9Cop.

We work together, I do the 2D files and he creates the masterpieces that fit original cars!

 

Thanks Jimmy. Gents. couple of pics of the last set that were powder coated silver on request, personally I think I'd like the powder coated clear. I have these in stock ready to go. Please contact me if you're interested in these or any other Countach parts we recreate. ;-)

Thank you Joe, praise indeed! I try and reproduce some of the parts that I have found are NLA, or all but impossible to find..
