As I am currently finishing up a Silver C resto, I opted to replace the faded, speckled black lid
with a redhead off of a donor grill. I am also redoing a redhead 1000 at the same time. So I
have 2 red lids, and one black disassembled at the same time. I used the endcaps off of the Silver C
(no bolt holes on the outside) and just grabbed the cleanest red lid so it would take less time to
finish cleaning up like new. When I went to assemble it, it would not go together. It was off about
an inch from the endcaps. Scratching my head, I did a side by side comparison with the other two
so you can see for yourself.
I believe the donor I used is a 700 or 900. I had no idea there was a difference.
