Early 930 tail grille for A/C car dimensions
Hello everyone:
Does anyone have a grill for a early 930 whale tail that they can measure for me? I need the specs to modify an aftermarket tail to fit that grill. It’s this one: ![]() The opening for mine is smaller, but not the non-ac opening. I want to fit the AC type, which I just purchased, but will take almost 2 months to get to me, and I’m already in the process of the bodywork. Thanks in advance. |

It's not as simple as that.
My advice is to wait for the replacement grill and see what you are up against. Anyhow, here's the dimensions: The grill sits in a 'basin' that measures 56 cm x 175.5 cm across the top surface of the tail. The grill sits on a recessed ledge, the actual opening measures 47 cm x 135.5 cm. To mount the grill, drill the 'ledge' for the mounting screws. Bill K

Thank you Bill!
The actual opening on the tail now is the same, only narrower than the original, so it’s only width-wise that it needs to be modified. This is what it looks like now: ![]() The height and depth are the same. We’re still not painting until we get it, but we’re getting started with the fiberglass now and trimming if necessary when it gets here. |
