Grille Clips for a 65 Sprite

I recently picked up a grille for the Sprite minus the 6 clips that hold it in place. I have 2 original bottom clips which were still on my car. No one seems to carry them so it looks like I will need to fabricate them. My question is, does anyone know if they are all the same or are the top ones possibly longer. If someone could provide a picture or a drawing with the exact size it would be much appreciated.

Tinners nuts available at any hardware store.
Although the 65 used 1/4 x 28 nuts and screws but the tinners nuts make it much easier to R&R the grille.
Or are you missing the tabs on the grille?
If so, some aluminum, a grinder, drill, and you can fashion them easily enough, the center ones are longer. They are pop riveted to the grille.
 
I'm missing the tabs, that was my question are they different lengths than the bottom ones?
