Do I use a padded J nut or rubber washer between the outboard front bumper bracket and the fender or both?

The ones AMK sells are the padded version I have seen another that could be described as washer shaped however it was made into the clip like the padded one . Not both.

Thanks, I saw both types for sale both labeled as 65-68. additionally, does this double washer bolt look correct for that spot.

You know how they make wall displays for things like; types of barb wire.  I'm thinking of making one for first gen mustang fasteners...but your idea may be better.
