Like Don has said the repo grills fit and look same as original since they got the Ford tooling. I did have issues with the new Daniel Carpenter trim clips that hold the stainless on. I actually had to deform my NOS trim by closing it up for the clips to even hold anything. I used the windshield sealer to hold them in place while I got the trim on.
Now to answer your question. The grill is ABS plastic just like your console. You can use the glue from hardware store for that type pipe. The glue does melt the plastic like doing a model so be careful. I think one of the members has a thread on here about doing a repair to the A-post trim which is also ABS. They used I think acetone to mix with pieces of the plastic to make a paste to fill in broken areas. Do a search and see what you find.
I have also found that blasting the grill with walnut shells cleans it up nice and makes it look almost new. Lower the air pressure so not to eat the plastic away.
Always be on the lookout for the grill trim I got a couple sets for $25.00 but that is not normal. It is stainless so buffing is easy and looks new.
I warn you that once you get the grill out the headlight buckets, grill brackets have to be stripped and reworked, lol. Some of the parts are Slop gray and some semi gloss black. The hood latch is phosphate. It is one of those projects that just keeps growing once you are there. Only pic I had on computer was before the phosphate hood latch was on and no trim was waiting on the clips. I also got a bolt kit and replaced all the bolts also not in the picture. The grill is one I had in my hoard in attic for years.
It will make the front of the car look much better for sure. When someone walks up to the car with hood open it looks much better.
