Yes ! I will attest. It goes together just like Rich says.
During a PO reinstall of the grill on my car the
'two-way-hex-head-in-the-middle' studs were not used for some reason. I found
a source and got 5 of them from Nocks BCS in Stockton. Then - finally - the
grill assembly went together as Rich describes. So if they are missing from
your bits box the good news is the 2-way studs are available.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Grille surround and top cowl MkII BT7
Simon,
On the later grille assembly, the upper brow is preassembled into the upper
portion of the oval surround, so that the oval lip is exposed all the way
around and the 3 upper tabs are lined up with and immediately behind the 3
captive nuts of the brow. This assembly is carefully inserted into the
shroud aperture, and then working from behind the grille opening, 4 special
1/4" NF studs with a hex surface half way along the stud are run forward
into the two outer upper captive nuts in the brow, and into the two captive
nuts in the lower left and right brackets riveted to the shroud. There is an
additional small lag bolt in the top and bottom middle mounting flange that
runs through a fender mounting style captive clip.
At this point you should have the surround and brow assembly nicely set into
the aperture and the back ends of the four special studs facing toward the
rear of the car. The vertical teeth assembly is brought in carefully behind
the aperture from the side. The outer upper tabs fit onto the studs, as well
as the lower outer tabs to the lower studs. The upper ones can now have flat
washers, lock washers and nuts installed and run up, securing the upper
portion of the teeth assembly. The lower studs now must also have the lower
brackets of the radiator air deflector panels installed onto the lower
studs, along with the left and right steady straps for the inner wheel arch
splash plates. With all this lot run onto the lower studs, flat washers,
lock washers and nuts can be installed and run home. Last, there is a middle
lag screw on the top and bottom of the teeth assembly that installs into the
bracket on the oval surround.
