Exclamation Mounting hardware for 34 Ford interior Header PANEL

I need help to fit my 34 interior header panel to my 34 coupe. Since the header panel was not with the car and i found an original replacement, iam missing the mounting hardware. I only found the 32 Hardware with 3rd Gen and wonder if that could be used. There are differences of course between 32 and 34 header panels, like the wood screws for the wooden support bar behind the 32 panel. The 34 is plain steel that bolts to the body.
Does anyone have experience with 32 versus 34 header panel mounting hardware? Or can anyone give me exact dimensions ( length, diameter, thread, washers, amount and variation ) of the bolts needed to bolt the header panel to the body?
Maybe a link where i can get them?
I would appreciate any help.
Regards Randolf

If they aren't wood screws, but rather machine screws, you can determine what screws that you need along with matching finishing washers yourself, You can be a bit long on the screw lengths to be on the safe side. All of the screw heads were originally slotted ovals.



The original finish on the screws and finishing washers was S-15 (oxidized) which is approximately the color of weathered bronze. There are chemicals on the market to achieve that finish; they are used by makers of stained glass lamp shades and windows.

Thank you for your reply David.
Unfortunately we only have metric screws, i would need to source imperial thread screws from the UK or the US. They are definately machine screws. I was hoping someone could give me an indication of the size screw / bolt i would require since i do not have a sample or any idea what to look for.
