Steering Column Mount Question

[2fine69s]

Hey guys,
Having had my car a part for the better part of 8 years, I am reassembling now and for the life of me cannot remember how the column/firewall plate attaches. The attached picture shows the plate and the correct screws for it to bolt to the firewall. My question is: What is correct to use to make up the size difference between the 3 large plate holes and the smaller bolts?
Thanks

The correct bolts have much larger washers on them....

YUP. Don't remember what they are called, they had large captured washers

Some pics before I disassembled mine and a few others I have saved

DMT sells all the firewall foam gaskets in black if you don't care for the white ones on a dark firewall, they also sell the rubber gasket between the two plates you can see it in the pic his piece is a O-ring I don't know if the factory one was an O-ring and smashed into shape(like in the 3rd pic) after the two plates were tightened down or not but it seems like his will do the job

I seem to have better luck searching for parts on their Ebay store vs. the website

R/T specialties has these

They seem to be the 3 bolts for the large plate, couldn't find the (2)bolts for the smaller plate if anyone stumbles on the R/T part number for those please post on here

Mr. G's has a great website for bolts and things if you know specs on what you are looking for.

The bolt with the large fender washer is what I was missing. Thanks for the picture.

Talked to Thomas at RT specialties and while not 100% correct(no self locating tip) these will do for the 2 small plate to big plate bolts
