Title: SSP Lid bale
Post by: b_kittleson on August 03, 2020, 09:41:12 AM

I’ve got a plum colored SSP, lid code DD, and I was wondering if anyone has swapped out for the newer lid bale so the lid opens more.

Yes I have on a few performers. I believe the part number is 65188.

It's a fantastic upgrade and a direct swap.

The old style covers will not fit though if you make the mod.  I believe another member tried using the Summit Charcoal Grilling Center cover with success.

This is an excellent quality cover that will fit the SSP with newer lid bale:   https://www.grillstuff.com/products/weber-performer-charcoal-grill-cover-2004-and-older
