We just finished the mold for the grills on the late air box and they look just like factory (less the over spray). The grills have been harder to find in good condition but now you can get one NEW!
No new grill would be complete without a new seal to hold it into place. We didn't just phone this one in. Other seals use an extruded strip of rubber and notch the corners to make a rectangle to hold the grill and slide over the top of the air box.
We molded a seal to fit the air box perfectly. We also made it out of silicone to make a good seal. Not just a fin or flap, but a little over 1/4" flat seal all the way around. The real beauty of this seal is that when it is installed it will actually force the grill to sit about 1/16" below the body grill.
These will be about $25 each for the seal and the same for the grill after the GB is over.
It's also a good time to re seal the flapper valved in the air box, so if you want to add that in, it has been discounted to make this project more complete.

You suck, making me want to spend more money. I don't have a screen on my car, but always thought they were a good idea.
Mark,
I stand to be edfucated.
Was there a factory grille for the early cars? Currently my car has none and the fresh air motor is frozen and needs restoration.
When I say early I mean up to 73.
So late means 74 on up?
I didn't know the air boxes were different.
My late '73, build date 6/73, has the grille.
Count me in for a grille and seal.
Can I add it to my order from earlier today?
Sign me up
David
I'm in for all three.
Oh hell yes!
My '73 does not have a grill (I assume this is fitted under the cowl). I did not know one was available but it certainly needs one to keep the crap out of the airbox and to keep it from eventually blowing leaves and other junk into the car.
Do I have to remove the airbox in order to install this? Any pics of a car with this installed?
The airbox will need to cone out, and there have been son good write ups on this. The key is labeled wires so you know has to put it back together.
A VERY good time to check the motor on the blower and replace some flapper seals
Mark
I'm in for 2 sets
whats this rebuild kit?
Its the 2 flapper seals and the main motor and upper box seal.
I'm in for both as well as however many flapper seals are in the box. Is it more than 1?
Mark,
As a newbie this my first GB so just let me know what to do. I'm a current customer.
I'm in for the 3 piece set.
Jack
Take my money!!!
I'm in for one set of all 3 bits.

Thanks Mark
I need the whole shebang so count me in.
I'm in for the complete set as well (grill, seal and valve refresh).
All in, yes
I will take the collection also.
In for grill, gasket, & rebuild kit.
I'll take all 3..
Mark,
Do you have a guesstimate on when these will be ready to ship?
These will be ready next week (along with the 1.8 TBG)and one more new item too!
PM's sent to all
with an extra special offer for those that have been supporting the GB's here.
Hey Mark! Happy new year! I'd like to get all three from you along with a few other items.
PM sent!
Curses; I just ordered (and received) a box of goodies including the airbox rebuild kit, thinking "I'll make up a grille myself". If I'd known you were this close to having them ready...
Mark, for some reason I can't just order the airbox grille and the seal for $34 ... the order form says I must order the rebuild kit as well. Is that correct, is it a requirement?
Hi Mark, I am in for all three as well if not too late. Regards, Grant
