[Healeys] Dash mount studs or bolts BJ8

[Weston Keyes]

Hello Folks,

     I am restoring a car I didn't take apart. There was body work done around
where the dash ends mount to the body and also the windshield is attached.
There are 2 cast aluminum brackets that are screwed into the dash and attach
to the body. Was there originally a stud welded to the body that goes through
the hole in the casting? I just have a hole now. If they used a bolt the head
would be covered up by the mounting plate of the windshield. Any clues?

   Thanks for your patience.
