Default 67 Bumper help needed

I put my car in a show for the first time last week. Among the thousand or so incorrect items was the fact that I was missing spacers over the center bolts in the bumper. I ordered the spacers from LIC and they have since arrived. I attempted to put them in and of course they won't fit.

Is there some trick to spreading the sides of the verticle bumper pieces so that the spacers can be inserted?

Use a short length of 'all thread' or 'ready bolt' and two nuts between the flanges of the bumper. Just 'unscrew' the nuts away from each other to spread enough for the tubular spacers.
