69 barracuda dash to firewall bolts

I was with @clementine on Saturday at his place and took this picture.
Went over to meet and see his project. He was in the process of installing the clips for the windshield trim.
I snapped this picture. This is exactly how I was planning to install my dash. I was actually trying to get a good picture of the trim being test fit but did catch a couple of the U-clips for the Dash...

Same picture but zoomed in on 1 u-clip. The machine screw does not extend above the top of the threads.
Maybe @clementine will add a picture of the same with the windshield installed.

We have options.
