The proper retianers for the grill are a cylinder like device with a
shoulder on it. They slide into the holes in the cowling and then you

The speed nuts that one finds on many of the grills are not the "correct "
fitting. The correct devices are called Blind Fixes and are Moss Part
number 326-665. You need six of them.
