Default '66 Dash pad and holes??

I'm installing a new dash pad into my '66 convertible and had a couple of questions:

1: What are the two holes for in the photo below? They line up with the back of the dash pad. Are there supposed to be some screws through them to hold the dash pad? If so, what screws? I've not been able to find any on some parts sites.



I've got the pad on and the 4 nuts in place and tightened. Now, I've got to get the windshield dash trim back on. I'm not sure if I have the original screws as I took these things off 12 years ago. Been looking online to order some but can't find them. Was wondering if these listed for the Cpe and FB would work.

Also looking at ordering the underside screws. While searching for them I found these. Where do they go?

Thanks,

Dennis

My aftermarket dash pad had two small studs coming out of the inner foam and went through those holes. I don't know if they were installed by a p.o. or that's the way they're made, but the holes are there to secure the dash pad.

Thanks. My new dash pad had studs but they went through the oblong holes above the radio. I would think there would be bolts for these holes as well but there were no studs on my pad nor any bolts in the hardware pack that came with it. Don't know if I need to be looking for some more bolts to screw in from the back.
