As I recall, last time I just clamped the nut in some needle-nose vise grips, then set one edge in the hole and used a small screwdriver to press the other edge into place.
But then I found some nylon things at FLAPS that push in from the front and lock as the screw goes through. Much better, IMO, so that's what I use now. They are totally hidden once the headlight is installed.

Thanks Randall that's just the tip I needed! Used my needle-nose vice grips and they slipped right in like they belonged there.
Now its on to the restof the assembly. Still have to do a little painting on the older parts but will do that this evening so they will be dry tomorrow.
