Light Bar Mounting Hardware?

The PO had taken off the larger headlight, the tins and the fork tube cover to put on a smaller headlight for the "old school" look I guess. I want to put it all back together. I think he gave me most of the stuff to put things back in place, but the hardware. I know there are supposed to be some spacers on the forks somewhere that I do not have. If anybody has an exploded view of the assembly, that would be great. Also need to know how and where to get the missing hardware. If it matters, the bike is a 1988 softtail custom. Thanks in advance for any info!

Here is the link to the install sheet click. You'll need (2) of #8 and #10.

Beasley, nice work. The other word to remember is stanchion. I lost those pieces and could not search properly and find good results.

Which part is the stanchion? It looks like I am also missing the side trim strips. I am having no luck finding the lower spacers online, would my local HD dealer be a better source for the spacers and the side trim strips?

You don't use the side trim strips when you use the light bar. As for the parts, order from Horny Toad HD in Texas. Jon the parts manager will fix you up. I doubt any dealer will have the spacers in stock.
