Anyone familiar with the installation of a 53 Ford Center Grille installation? The part with the bullet nose? I have the center section figured out, and the attachment bolt above the parking light. From there it turns the corner around the outside of the fender. My grille bar doesn't seem to go back far enough to engage the bolt with the nutplate. It is probably an inch from the hole. Is there some sort of bracket that goes between the grille bar and the fender to make this line up? Seems to be the same on both sides. Thanks for any help.

This is a picture of the 1953 Ford Grille that Tommy is asking question about the instillation of the centre bullet. Can anyone help him?
 
Mine is not attached to the fenders. Just the center bracket behind the bullet and the attachment above the parking lamp on either side.

Thanks..That was my plan B. By the way I had another post about a bolt hole next to the hood latch hood dowel hole. What goes in that bolt hole? Thanks again..
 
There is a bolt brace that goes there to tie the hood lock support to the radiator support.
Part # BA-19924-A with 3/8 -16 nuts and washers.
