I also include the 4X M10 bolts and washers that fit the front of the chassis.
Theres also a couple of shorter M8's that are required.
(see picture of the bolt set in the EBay shop)

If you let me know what the 1303 specific bits are then I can include them as well, if they are not in there all-ready.

Mines a 1970 1500, so a bit before the 1303. Can't imagine there being too much difference between the body-chassis fit though.

Good point about the missing captive nuts... I lost 5 of these when I resto'd my body shell. I welded in new ones though rather then using the repair washer and nut like yourself.
You can also use rivet-in captive nuts. These are M8 nuts with wings (so to speak). Drill the holes for 2 X rivets either side of the where the nut goes (assuming the metal is good), offer-up and pop-rivet into place. Easy-peasy.

One final finishing touch - where the M8 bolt protudes inside the bonnet area - cap it with a dome nut - stainless of course. (I also have these) Looks nicer then a raw bolt-end.!
