Bill,
Both my grill and apron are after market items from TRF. I bought the apron in
about 1980 and a few years later got the grill.
The grill had to be "adjusted" to fit the opening by bending it to a sort of
concave (to the inside). Left and right was the perfect length.
Most grills I have seen tend to be the same but the degree of concave varies.
Take your time and bend carefully.
But are you sure about the 2"? The new grill is 2" larger than the apron
opening? Sounds a bit too much. I just measured my grill as installed from
the crank hole vertical and I get 7 13/16 inches from lower grill lip to top
lip.
