Repairs and parts for Front Grilles 408 - 411
 
Maybe everyone knows about this already, but there's a small company based in Bedworth, near Coventry, who have developed the parts to make either complete grilles or just odd 'slats'. These would be for the front grilles of 408, 409, 410, and the earlier 411 series. They also have replacement aluminium bowls for the smaller full-beam lamps, but they could form almost any metal bit you might want. For various arcane reasons they have a complete 409 grille in stock, and it is very beautiful indeed.

I was over there to order an aluminium bonnet for my Classic Range Rover, as the steel one, although repairable, will never be properly nice again. The standard bonnets were steel, so with the reduced weight of the new one the turn-in will, no-doubt, be MUCH sharper !

Good to know! For the record, please can you tell us the name and contact details?

Should anyone need a 408 grille I have a spare one with a few slats still attached.

Yes, can do. The man is Stuart Jay, and his company is Machinor Ltd. He has a simple website : www.machinorltd.com there are contact details there.

I came across him in Instagram a while ago. His new 409 grille looks beautiful.
