hood trim install

Despite set backs with my master cylinder I manage to man-up and drill my bonnet for the hood trim. I like it. Side trim is next.
I ordered all the hardware from Moss and was a bit dismayed what I got didn't match what I ordered. They show 4 different pieces for this but shipped 3 different. 3 big, one medium, on little. I realized if you turn the big ones sideways it is narrower and will suffice for the middle position (I did file the edge a tad to get it where I wanted it).
I used some pieces of cut up heater hose to cram under them to hold them steady while I mounted it. All worked out. Now it's starting to look more Midget and less Sprite (not that there's anything wrong with that).
