Here are some photos of a core support that I pulled from a LeMans (V8 A/C car) On this example, the seal is also secured on the LH side with the same bolt used to fasten the lower LH radiator mount. Hope these photos help...
Those are perfect. I have the seal, and it only goes in one way from what I can tell. There are some flat indents in the rubber where a fastener went so I figured it must be a T-bolt of some sort. Thanks for sharing.

Now I need to dig through all my parts buckets to see if I have those fasteners or find something close that will work. Since this build is not an original I am not concerned.

Any parts store will have these upholstery/trim push pins. Actually, Lowe's has a good selection of them in the 'specialty fasteners' drawers.

Yeah, if you think about it, you KNOW that's what they'd be using if this car was built today.

You can also get a metal or plastic version of the T clips.
