Or even go into your local panel shop and ask for a munted one.

Usually the type of plastic is marked on the inside of the item. However with an LJ being so old I don't know if it would have it.

In the past I have used a sharp knife to slice some thin strip from the back of the grill. Use these strips or shavings what ever you want to call them as your filler. Same plastic same coulor. Or even better if you have an old bugged grill to donated some plastic
