69 300 vert new roof boot

Had a new roof boot made to hide the top when in the down position, its pretty good but the clips that hold the retaining casting on have failed. A set of threaded screws hold the clips to the casting but there are none left. My thoughts are to not bother with the clips and simply use machine screws from the under side in to the casting with an appropriate washer, took one of the few remaining bolts/screws to the bolt store and all they could tell me was they were 8 gage and didn't identify...
