@vilzrod  welcome!!!     Glad you found us.  @anlauto  probably has done the most 1970 Cuda grilles out of everyone I know.  Hopefully he will be able to help you.  I can try to get some photos or info when I get home from work tonight.

They don't go on the grill they go on the header panel. The bolt goes through them.

2 parts snap together onto the header.

Snapped this photo real quick before I left, I think this is the holes you are looking for.

Thanks Alan and Dave for the help!

I have heard of other issues but haven't see/heard of that one yet. you should have 2 square holes in the inner fender panel like the red inserts Cody shows. these nylon retainers mount the head lamp bezels

[anlauto]

I've found that out too late and had to drill holes and just use self tapping screws....

[MoparDave]

yikes. one must be able to adapt and work on the fly for resolution with replacement parts.

ok this is making sense now I was wondering what those were for...  I just need to make the hole large enough for the nylon plug...thx guys !

It's a square hole, right?  Might need to do what Alan did and just use some self taping screws.
