What am I missing?

Last part of the attaching stuff in the engine bay, the overflow has me stumped...The frame has a square cutout, I am guessing its those plastic square insert that act as nuts?




As well not sure what goes next to the Purge can?

Yes... in fact overflow reservoir use 3 of those plastic round fasteners on radiator core support. They are the same used on grill brackets to attach grill screws on to brackets

well I'm guessing those are the ones...I'm sure the pictured one it is, now the draw from clipsandfasteners.com, DOES LOOK to be

you'll be able to use 15 of them all around ( 12 on grilles and 3 on overflow bottle ).

( one idea, you could sell them on ebay already as 15 units kits LOL )
