Default '64 Convert, rear tack strip bolts.

Can someone tell me how many bolts hold in the rear convertible tack strips? Lag type screw going into sheet metal. My set up was a mishmash of different non-original bolts. Is it 3 or 4 on each side and 7 across the back? Also are they all the same size? I believe that several of mine were striped out and they just went to the next size up bolt. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I see 9 across the back and 4 on each side. This is the strip from our host. Lag bolts should be the same length. DON'T use bolts to long on the sides!!!!

Thanks. It is pretty clear that someone has stripped out some of the holes in the body. I also did not have any of the rubber spacers in place. I am thinking about tacking grade 8 washers over the holes to get them back to correct size and act as spacer. Not sure what the outcome of going from rubber to steel would be.
