I wonder how much weight racks such as this can take?  Is there any danger of damaging the intake grille?

 

CMC uses a single piece cast aluminum "hibachi" grill.  So unlike the OEM grill (used on other replicas) - its not made up of 40 (?) bits.  That, of course, makes the slats closer together and the VS rack legs won't go thru it to the fiberglass rain shield.  That same rain shield provides a strong support for the 1 piece grill. 

I had always thought you could weld aluminum mounting nubs between the slats to secure a VS grill. I ended up getting a patina AMCO luggage rack  on mine. You can see difference in photo of OEM grill.
