Default 82-86 928S chin spoiler information

Well Ive been poking around on the site and others trying to find out how the chin spoiler was attached in the middle with the three locations under the grill. I had a number of responses. Here is the correct information. I started with a new set of three grill slats from Porsche( they are now made of plastic not aluminum). They are all molded in with a extra screw hole in the bottom to act as the mounting point for the chin spoiler from below. I also started with a new chin spoiler because my original one was 30 years old and had been repaired many times. Once the Grill is built up I installed it in the car. When you look from below the spoiler the holes for the spoiler locate directly below the last crossbar for the grill. Using a small sheet metal screw and a fender washer to secure each of the three holes I now have a secure grill and spoiler. I guess that Porsche either replaced the material of the grill for plastic to either make it cheaper or more flexible.
