Continuing the process of cloning a non-400 into a 400...
Got hockey sticks from Ames to put on my grilles. Appears they are attached with a pair of simple unthreaded studs poked thru holes which I need to drill in the grilles (on the long side of the hockey sticks). And there's a threaded hole that I can put a bolt thru on the short length. Is there any type of nut or retainer placed on the rear of these studs?
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe. 1968 400 convertible (Scarlet) 1976 T/A - 455 LE (No Burt) 1976 T/A New baby, starting full restoration. 1968 350 - 4 speed 'vert - 400 clone (the Beast!) 1968 350 convertible - Wife's car now- 400 clone (Aleutian Blue) (Blue Angel) 2008 Durango - DD 2008 GXP - New one from NH is AWESOME! 2017 Durango Citadel - Modern is nice!

The short side bolt is a small sheet metal-like screw with fine threads.

It would be awful thoughtful of the repro manufacturers or retailers if they simply put these little pieces of hardware in with the beautifully wrapped packages. I'd happily pay the extra $1...heck I'd pay an extra $3. And I'd love 'em for the convenience...
