Default 66 grill hardware

Can someone post a picture of the correct bolt / clip that mounts the grill in a 66 GTO?

I just put my 67 grills on and I had a kit. I did not get the screws in it nor the bushings.., but it did have the washers and the clips.... I used #8-18 1/2 stainless screws that I bought at the hardware store... and the clips..
But I do not see what the washers and plastic bushing are for? (I didnt get those in my 67 kit)..
Can you explain?

Thanks for the replies, but I was hoping to get pictures of OEM bolts and clips. I have a gallon can of clips from GTO cars that were parted and am wanting to see if I had the originals. I'm not sure about the plastic about the plastic bushings. Maybe someone else will chime in?

Attached is a page from the shop manual showing the grill hardware and a picture of what I believe is an original attachment from my 66 GTO, bottom pax side grill. The "screw" appears to be a 5/16 x 3/4 L hex washer shelf tapper. I don't guess I have the "grommets" shown in the shop manual. Hope this helps.

Although the kit pictured in the eBay ad 66sprint6 posted is far better than anything available to date the hex flange bolt (screw) is incorrect if you are looking for concourse correct. As you can see from this 27,000 mile original 66 GTO it should have a capitol E in the center of 3 lines. AMK Products could easily make this since they make the smaller screw with the D in the center. It should be a parkerized 5/16"-18 X 15/16" long.

I need to correct my post since the parts manual states group 8.977 part number 9411835 is 5/16"-18 X 7/8" BT point CAD plated.
