Front plates at a pillars (dashboard ) are just a flat piece of metal shaped to the floor and bolt underneath the floor ,the middle pillars sit on metal feet as seen in photos and are either nut and bolted or use welded captive nuts ,the rear plates bolt under the rear arches and again are shaped to the arch and bolted underneath
