Dave, As mentioned try steel wool but use a three aught or 3 zero grade. You can get it at a hardware store or lumber supply.Good luck, Dave Walsh

Well deserved, Mark!
You’ll probably never know how much the sharing of knowledge has helped the sport. It has kept many old British cars on the road, and for that I am grateful to you and also to the wealth of knowledge of all those on the list!

Thanks to all of those who contributed to my induction into the British
Sports Car Hall of Fame. It is nice that over 30 years of effort on my
part has not gone unnoticed. Thanks to everyone on every list that has
made this possible!

Hi All,
After 12 years and counting on my 64 BJ8 restoration, she goes to paint this summer.
I pulled the grill out of storage to see what it will take to restore to like new. Although the vertical teeth are in pretty good shape in regard to dents and damage, there is much corrosion especially on the sides of the teeth. After trying several levels of polishing attempts, I”m not sure I”m going to be able to restore to acceptable quality. I thought about fully dismantling it so I can polish each tooth, but this could take another 12 years!!
Moss sells a reproduction grill for $500.Does anyone have any comments on the quality of the reproduction part? Does anyone have any advice as to repro vs restoration for the grill?
Thanks in an advance for any help that anyone can provide.

The corrosion on my grill is too deep. Steel wool did not restore the brushed finish.

My grill was smashed in from an accident, so I could not restore it. I purchased a repro grill from Moss. It worked out ok.EltonBJ7
