NOTE: We're both crossing paths with our posts here. If you didn't notice, I made a second post after the one you just responded to (while I was typing this one) that answers question about pastebin file. If you follow that, you should end up with a working 40_custom file and entry in Mint's grub.
One more thing to add to above two posts.
Just saw your other post on Mint forum where you asked whether or not to delete things like grub.cfg.new.
Answer: I believe when it failed to properly create new grub config, it just kept old working one as grub.cfg (which is one that will get used) and renamed the bad one to grub.conf.new (which won't get used). So should be safe to delete it.
If you end up not using the "austin.texas method" and instead just nuke LL's grub packages, then open 40_custom file with text editor as root again and reset it back to the way it was to start with because you won't need the entry from that anymore:
