1968 Wide grille molding to grille hardware

[admin]

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.

It has a picture of the retainer.

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

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

I may have one.

I may have one.

I appreciate it Arlie, but I already ordered the kit. I had a few other things to get at the same time, so it wasn't a big deal.

I got the hardware kit and finished installing the grille. I've been slowly putting the car back together after getting it painted. It's very satisfying to be able to actually finish up sections, like the grille, fog lights and chrome. It's starting to look like a finished project... almost!

Wow, it looks like a real car!!!! I think you have a bit of a steering problem.
