Are you referring to the plastic washers and screws? Mike Ross told me that ones on eBay sold by Vans are the most accurate except for one clip. I bought a set but have not installed them but the look correct.

This is the kit I used on my last build. The 71 style black plastic headlight bucket retainers will not work in a 70 grille, they are to tall. Also, the x3 black plastic round push pins for the lower valance insert also will not be used.

[quote=HEMICUDA] Also, the x3 black plastic round push pins for the lower valance insert also will not be used.

Do these push pins not fit?

Nope, not long enough. Also, I've only seen "U" clips and bolts holding them on with the two screws in the upper corners.

Looks to be original plugs.

We've disassembled 4 70 Cuda's here in the last year or so and I have worked on many others over the years and have never seen the plastic push pins on a 70, 71 yes. My 3,900 mile survivor also didn't have the push pins. shruggy Either way, the push pins being supplied in the kits are not correct and to short IMO.
