'67-'68 (maybe '69 too?), Grill Surround repair kit

HMBCUDA said
I'm set on the Studs,(have 100!) "special" made to fit the original '68 bracket holes, press in, no glue, weld, etc. required, pretty much exactly like the original head too (flat) no grinding required.

Difference is they are stainless steel, and do not have the special "tip". (to make it easier not to cross thread)

Thanks! Good Info for repair options! I didn't realize '67 holes were square!

If I make up some sort of "Kit" may have to title it:
'68 (ONLY) Barracuda Grill surround "Stud Repair" and "Assembly" Kit

67 is not square. 67 is round just like 68's. Any kit you make would apply to 67 and 68's equally.

The round holes were made square with a small square file. The clips modified.

You can see tell the difference from pop rivets when you look close.

There are dies for regular rivets (non pop type) on the market now. Would be nice to have the right dies and rivets for these grilles and not unnecessary ones. Would you need a rivet press to use your dies in your kit?
