A quick guess is about 5-6". I think there were 6 on the four longest and 4 on the top.

I think you will find that you don't need that many holes if you drill them yourself. When I drilled mine I only used about four for the long bars and three up top. I never had a problem with my grille bars coming loose...

I found the same clips like on the original when I was in Charlotte at Restoration Specialties. They are located in Pennsylvania. I have a catalog and looked in there and found the same clips. Their website is ( restorationspecialties.com ). I picked up a catalog in Charlotte at the Auto Fair but their website list one for $3.50. The pictures in the catalog are actual size. It is easy to find a match if you have one of the old ones.
