Hi Freddy,
I'm not sure what part you're referring to as the 'chrome brackets'.
With headers on the engine there's no way to mount the 2 horizontal shields (3371 & 3368) or their small supports.
I don't think you can mount the spark plug heat shields (3383 & 6503k) either. Not needed with headers.
You can likely still be able mount the spark plug wire heat shields (14769 &14770)Again, not necessary.
You'll still be able to mount and secure the left side vertical shield (3365), but there will be no lower support for the right side vertical shield (3364).Neither of my vertical shields is supported on the lower end. It still fastens the same at the top. Again, they won't 'flop' around and cause any issues at least in my experience with headers
Regards,
Alan

Hi F76,
I realize you're using headers…. how are you routing the wires?
If you're referring to the length of the spark plug wires…. yes they may be too short.
Or are you meaning that the wires seem to be too big a diameter for the opening in the grommets?
And, which grommets?
Regards,
Alan
Does this help at all?
It's the right side showing the typical wire routing.
The 2 forward plug wires are going into the boomerang heat shield.
The 2 rear wires are headed to the rear 2 plugs.
The rear spark plug heat shield is in place.
The 2 small brackets are in place for the rear radio shielding.
The left side.
2 wires going to the rear plugs.
2 going into the boomerang toward the forward plugs.

You're slipping a little my friend
I notice on your clutch cross shaft that it has the grease fitting present and not the 'Red Plastic Plug' , "C'mon man!!" 
Just messing with you, you know that! ( I'm sure it was present for judging.)
Great pics as always
