I have a set of 316 SS grills for my '37 120. Got them from Fred Dosser in Australia. He fabricated the 6 straight/flat ones and had the two front curved ones 3D printed SS. They were not cheap (I think I am the only owner that has 3D printed SS curved grills) but neither are the Al grills from Max Meritt, +$1200 plus another $1200-$1500 for chrome plating.
The pitting that occurs on the original pot metal grills is almost impossible to clean/decontaminate and fill prior to chrome plating and not show the dimples. If you try to fill the pits with copper (copper/nickel/chrome) the deep pits will likely blister.
