Went to switch real nice sheet metal from the 41 H parts tractor to the 45 H, which has new engine, tires, etc. Anyway the 41 grill has perfect "clip screws" that fit perfectly on the 41 radiator, which of course leaks. Noticed the radiator shroud on the 45 has threaded holes for bolts. Hate like heck to remove the clip screws, or switch radiators. Drill out 45 threaded holes? Are the clips more desirable for restoration? Thanks for any input and advice, Its too hot here to make these decisions,, Thank You.

If you want it original, the clips did not come on a 45. They were only used thru serial 49749 (late 1940).

We were almost in dead heat posting seems that we agree though.

I assume the clips are actually the (Dzus) fasteners that were only used for first couple of years your 1945 would have had bolts originaly.

I could never get anyone to pay a premeum for the clips so I guess unless someone wants to trade grills you just as well knock them out and use bolts.
