Alternative to tea tray grilles?

[moparrob]

So the 930 tea tray rear wing I bought did not come with the original vent grilles and I want to find some replacements.

The original parts are almost $200.00 each for the mesh grilles and I assume there must be a more cost effective way to accomplish this effect.

This is what they look like:





They are part numbers 19 and 20 in this exploded view:





Does anyone have the stock dimensions or has anyone fabricated these grilles themselves? If so, what material is closest to the stock dimensions?

All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Nobody has had to deal with this before?

Rob, subscribed. My grill is in pretty rough condition and was also interested in good replacement alternatives.

I am hoping someone will have the dimensions of the two grills, or a set they will lend me, and I will fabricate some extra sets for those in need. Unfortunately my tail did not come with the grills.

Wire mesh? Maybe home depot?

Half inch is too big for hole size. Check out 1/4 inch

Paint black

You will note the original is a diamond pattern while the Home Depot is a square.

McNichols has some interesting mesh options, I'm sure there are others out there as well. The hexagonal could be cool, although not replicating stock. https://www.mcnichols.com/

Also, I know that doesn't solve the dimension issue. My car is in the shop right now so I don't have quick access to the mesh, but I could get dimensions shortly and figure it out.

I recall using some sort of expanded metal I picked up from Ace Hardware. It was close enough--the key is the finish, as it's black and recessed behind the slatted grill you can't make out a ton of detail but if it's rusting or discolored it will pop.

Would anyone happen to have the exact dimensions of the original panels?
