Rear bumper bracket gaskets on '69 Charger?

Got a hopefully easy question:

After having been off the car for a few years as part of a rebuild,  I'm getting ready to reattach my rear bumper and brackets on my '69 Charger.    Now I've been told that there are some gaskets (included with a body gasket kit, which I have)  that go inbetween the body and rear bumper bracket.   However the manual doesn't show what these gaskets look like (or that they're even used) so I was hoping if someone could describe them to me so I can make sure I'm using the correct ones.   Now I've found 4 circular gaskets that I think are the correct ones, but the center holes in them are rather small (around 1/4" dia) and of course the bracket bolts are a lot larger than that.   But are these the correct ones to use dispite that fact?

Thanks!
David

I used the same four round ones on my rear bumper.

i thought you could have ,but, all the usual suppliers  year 1 ,etc seem to only stock the complete kit,  at around $30 give or take some
might be wrong though.

Thanks, guys.    I guess I just force the gasket onto the bolt - I assume that's normal then to help provide a seal around the bolt itself.
But thanks for confirming that for me!

Do you have an old one I could duplicate or can you get an old one. Or can you take a picture of one and supply dimensions.

I'd like to add those to my "ala carte" list of Mopar gaskets. I'd make you a set for free.

You see the three round bumper bracket gaskets on the right, there are supposed to be four of them.  YO sent me an opened package and one was missing.

About 1.5" - 2" in diameter.

I got those in my SoffSeal kit (from Year One) for my Challenger. I could throw one in an envelope if you really want to use that.

Do you have (or does anyone on here) have an original I could use for reference? I'm sure it wasn't that pinkish stuff REM/Year One is selling. Those side marker gaskets are the same stuff. They aren't the right size, thickness or material. They were probably the white bubbly foam like you see behind a master cylinder or steering colum to floor gasket.
