Rick, Year 1 sell the spacers new. Black or white. Choice is yours (mine were white).

Putting the grille together can be tricky, depending on how much attention was paid when stripping it. For me, the most difficult bit was masking the grille for painting, but then the 70 has two wide ovals set within the grille which need outlining in silver argent. Just a friggin pain. Coming along though mate :thumbright:
