Need help with, 1966 3000 BJ8 WShield Post Install

I am in the midst of total restoration of my 1966 Austin Healey 3000 BJ8.

I need help sorting out the hardware to reinstall the windshield side posts to the door jams. There are four bolts per side. Three are the same length, approximately an inch and there is one longer bolt about an inch and a half long. Unfortunately I did not remove these posts.

Can anybody advise me on the proper placement of the different lengths of bolts. Which hole does the longer bolt go in on each side?
Thanks in advance.

Mark,
Although mine is a 64 phase 1 BJ8, I assume it is the same. The long bolt is the second from the top and goes through the dash(actually the end set bracket, Moss 633-658)and through the top of the padded kick panel. The top bolt on the driver's side goes through another bracket under the dash(can't find that part#, but it connects to the metal piece that the steering column runs through). The bottom two bolts end with the nut hidden under the padded kick panels.
 
the longer bolts are the ones which fix to the end of the dash brackets...
