    L110 Grill restoration

    I recently acquired some L110's and spent some time figuring out how to put new grill cloth on them. As ususal, they were in bad shape. Here is a picture of one before and here is how I did it.

    Making your mark

    I first took off the grill badges and then taped a piece of paper in the corner to use as a template to ensure that the badge goes back in the exact spot.

    I then poked a hole from the back

    Here is a shot of an EMBEE full elastic,1" wide putty knife. This tool allows you to get between the innner and outer frames with ease

    Insert the blade between the inner and outer frames and break to bond

    Cut off the old material and do the same to the inside edge

    The EMBEE allows you to get right into the corners and break that bond

    There is still a bond between the face of the inner and outer pieces so, gently pry them apart and insert another blade to keep it apart to enable you to continue. The inner piece is made of flimsy wood so it might get nicked. I use a Sharpie to black-out any of these spots so they don't show through the finished product

    Try to plan your moves so that the flimsy inner piece doesn't take alot of pressure or else it will break!

    Lay out your new cloth on a good flat surface. Get your tools ready and make sure the inner frame is clean of old adhesive.

    I use that piece of wood in the last picture to apply even pressure to the frame once a bead of glue has been laid down. I start the bead of glue right at the 45 degree angle cut of the frame. A light bead is all that is needed, don't go too crazy or you'll have a mess.

    Lay a bead, fold the cloth over and press it down with your block for 10 seconds and move to the next spot.
