    After reading the most recent posts on this thread I am not sure if the economy grills will begin shipping the end of this month. That is what was indicated at the time I ordered. Hopefully so, but if not, I will just get it when I get it. I am pretty pumped for it though.

    Well, I'm kind of hoping the economy grills don't have the delays the recessed grills had. If it is I won't be happy.

    Okay guys so I found rubber grommets that work perfectly. Oddly enough they are tattoo needle bar grommets.

    I'll be ordering a ton for bolt packs but they won't be here for weeks. So for the grills going out now I'm just buying some off Amazon. They will be included in the bolt packs you can use them or not it's up to you.

    They are a very tight fit so they will have to be placed in the grille and then the bolt threaded into them

    Could you provide a link to the ones you bought on Amazon? I'm curious as to if these would also work with the economy grill. If they will work with the economy grill I'd rather just pick some up for myself rather then wait weeks if they are not coming with my grill. Also are those grills still on schedule to ship by the end of the month?

    Thanks, Joe.

    They will be included with all of the grilles no need to pick them up yourself. We are on track to start shipping those around the end of the month not all of them will ship at once so depending when the order was placed it could be into November a week or so.

    cool... i'm ordering a pack, but obviously won't be using all 100. any others interested in maybe turning it into a tour box? i'll use some for my grille, send it to another that's interested, they use some and send it off to the next guy-- so on and so forth.

    what's a couple bucks shipping for a sense of community?
