Funnily enough the Parts catalogue states blind retainers throughout, =
even though I had clips fitted from underneath on both my 73 and 75. =
The 73 did already have the blind fixings for the 'MGB' on the boot lid. =
Fitting them to a new body is obviously going to be different to 50 =
years down the line and who know how many repaints, which is why I =
drilled mine out beforehand. The pins on my replacement grilles are the =
same size as the ones that came off.

OK, I went out to the car to try it your way Max. Those friction =
retainers are to large of a diameter to push down into the holes in the =
hood. The holes in the hood are just big enough to fit the oins on the =
grill. I am not in favor of drilling those holes out. It must have =
worked somehow differently from the factory. Maybe it's a replacement =
grill and the pins are oversize.
