At the top corners of the grille is a screw that connects the grille to the wide grille molding. The FOMOCO diagram shows keynote "T" which is a "retainer" part # C7ZB-8B249. Does anyone have a photo of that? I'm reassembling my grille and have all the screws and nuts in a baggie, but I don't have these "retainers" and don't recall removing them.

I believe I'm showing the correct screw in the photos below with a built-in wide "washer" head. But it does seem like there should be something more to keep it from pushing through the grille mesh. I plain old washer would do the trick, but I'm wondering what the correct piece looks like. Maybe it made it into a different baggie. ;)

Thanks Dan. I swear I googled that part number, and nothing came up. :rolleyes:

Here's the photo for future reference:

Since AMK has a $30 min order to buy directly through them + $10 shipping, it makes more sense for me to buy this kit through one of the Mustang vendors.

AMK kit # F-3238 for under $20
