Here is a picture of the original bushings. The radiator support goes between the square plate and the top bushing. The frame is "trapped by the two bushings, (upper and lower). A 7/16-14x4 carriage bolt is used to hold it together.

If the frame holes are to small, you are trying to put 69-72 mounts on a 67-68 frame. You will need to get the correct mounts for your frame. Even if you get them to fit the hole they wil be too thick. 69-72 had the steel mounts positioned lower on the frame to use a thicker mount and they went to a bigger hole also.
