Adjustable Grill Block Shutters

Here are some detail pictures of the adjustable grill block on the White VX

The grill looks like a normal after market grill, but behind it are adjustable shutters








I cut out all the old plastic grill bars. That left a 5X24 inch opening into which I fit the shutters. It is made from .090 inch aluminum sheet. The frame is 5 inches deep.








Here are some details of the construction. All fasteners are 6/32 button head screws and nylock nuts.
























The black cable pointing down attaches to the ball end on the control arm to open and close the shutters,




The black cable just to the right of the green E shows where the cable comes from the adjusting knob in the cabin of the car.
