(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I don't have to remove the grill. Remove the old one completely (nice flat metal), bolt the hinge bracket to the hinge arm, bolt the hinge arm to the rear lid, install everything and have someone hold the rear lid in the correct location then tack-weld the bracket. Carefully remove all the bolts, and finish welding.
Also, make sure to add extra welds to the bracket. They tend to break. If you weld them like I have pictured here, then you need to make sure they don't protrude above the level of the bolt plate. You can also weld the backside, but make sure not to weld into the threads. Best to make sure the threads are clear with an 8mm x 1.25 tap before you weld it in.
