FB vertical grill inserts

I have a FB Ute front on my EK. The grill has no inserts covering the vertical stays that hold the grill blades in place.
Looking at making my own. Here is something I folded up and bent today, and what it looks like in place on the grill. Might be a bit busy with the star/cross pattern but let see once I work out how to mount them.

Can anyone share a pic of what they should look like, if they cover the vertical stays, and how they are mounted?
The manual has basic picture of the grill and instructions to remove grill blades first and then undo bolts on each one. Sounds simple enough.

Hey Brett, thanks for the generous offer and the pictures for reference. I didn't realise that they are pot metal which does add a level of cost with re chroming, but a huge saving in time.
Ah what the hell, if you are happy to part with them, I'll happily give them a new home. PM me you details so I can cover your costs.
Thanks

I left them off my ute - not that it should have any being a Standard - I reckon the vertical bars add visual height to the car, just having the horizontal bars seems to make it look Lower and wider
