Ampeg 810 Grill dimension differences?

K, so i'm looking to get an AV Grill for my 810. Yes fliptops sells them, and will custom make the size if it's different than the standard size. They're more expensive than the big outlets after shipping.
Problem is, all the big sites advertise the grill as to fit a post-2005 810 Cab. My cab is a 90s cab. Does anyone know if the dimensions actually changed between 90s, or even early 00's and 2005?
Thanks!
 
I don’t know the exact dimensions but it’s because the SLM made cabs used different substrate (chip board) vs the Loud era that used plywood substrate. The overall outside dimensions are very close on these cabinets, within tolerance... but the thicker chip board resulted in reduced inside clear dimensions (overall grill size is smaller). I have since sold all my SLM era Ampeg cabs so I can’t give you an exact measurement.

I would measure your inside clear (overall grill size dimensions) and relay to whoever will be building it.

For what it’s worth... I used flip tops on all my cabinets... 5 grills total... they all look great!
