Hi Pete,

This is what I used for my projection file (note the first gridPointCorner is 
UpperLeft, and I also added la1, and lo1 tags):

<latLonGridCoverage>
    <name>4823</name>
    <description>Petes GFS GUST</description>
    <la1>42.5</la1>
    <lo1>274.75</lo1>
    <firstGridPointCorner>UpperLeft</firstGridPointCorner>
    <nx>48</nx>
    <ny>23</ny>
    <dx>0.25</dx>
    <dy>0.25</dy>
    <spacingUnit>degree</spacingUnit>
</latLonGridCoverage>

The <name> tag in the projection file should be the same as the <grid> tag in 
the model definition file.

I am fairly certain you will need to restart EDEX, specifically edexGrib,  you 
can do this by running:

sudo service edex_camel restart ingestGrib

Let me know if that helps!
