I got a set of these.  The quality of them was good, however, the fit is another story.  The bolts were a tad too short and would not reach the U clips on the grille.  I had to shave down the plastic snap washers in order to get them to work.

I had issues as well. On both my car and Lee1, I had to recycle the thinnest spacers as the new kit didn't get thin enough for the center and gave the grille a boxy sort of appearance. I do remember having to source out a couple screws too.

I have the same problem as you, got the kit (only now I learn it does'nt fit well) and didn't have it before.  My thought was (as I haven't done it yet) that one spacer goes underneath, and one on top.  I looked at pictures on the net and thats the way it looked to me?   I just dug up this thread, scroll way down and look at a picture where you can see the spacers on top of the header piece.  Good luck.

This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.
