FINALLY! A solution for front panel rust-through in 1st generation Summits

[Jon Tofte]

Good News!

I have found a place that will make 304 stainless reinforcement shields for the front panel of your 1st generation Summit. Have a look at my related thread for more information:

2nd Chance for a True Weber Classic: A 1998 1st Generation Summit 450

Thanks, Larry. I actually left my piece with him to do his measurements rather than relying on my crude cardboard pattern. I mentioned that idea as a “dream” solution. He said his shop could not do the curved part that rests on the frame and that the soft bend where the front panel transitions...

Nice job Jon. I'm sure there are many Summit owners that would be interested in this.
