Hi I need advanced esoterica advice
Im re doing my grill on a 52 200
there's 8 teeth
the central 6,(#' 2 through 7 ; 3 on each side ) are all the same
there's a smaller tooth on the outer edges #1 and 8 ,
so my question is how to tell apart the right and left or better the passenger side outer tooth from the driver side outer grill tooth ,they are slightly different

on inspection ; the upper edge of the tooth has a snipped off rear corner on one side and not the other ,so if the tooth is facing me the typer its the left upper corner is cut off .

also the lower edge protrudes a but further below the 2 hole mounting plate and the same side as the notched upper edge ,
my hunch is that this makes this a left toooth as I would be facing the car or better put a passenger side outer tooth
the notch corner being placed to be able to field ther curvature of the inner upper fender any wisdom from the pac-master archeologists?

A useful technique for such parts is to pin-punch them on an inside surface during disassembly to indicate their respective position and facilitate reassembly.

I found a black sharpie on the back side of items really helped me with figuring out what and where something went.

Interesting solutions, albeit a bit late as it appears Steve has already extracted the molars.

My husband, who I am logged in as, consulted me about your question. I am a trained forensic dentist, forensic anthropologist. I guess the first question is, did you take a bite mark identification before disassembling the grille? That would be of immeasurable assistance. You could reassemble the teeth, then take a polysiloxane impression, pour a model, and compare the bite marks. Elementary my dear Watson. Susan Cleereman, DDS

i noticed some of the grills for the 50-52 's have teeth and some dont .I ordered an NOS lower inner grill piece and when it came, there were no tooth mounting holes
i may have ordered the wrong part ,which models had teeth and which were edentulus?I thought perhaps that the teeth in my car may have been from a replacement grill ,(fake teeth?does my old car have dentures?)
