What is being discussed I beleive is the seat squab attachment at the bottom rail and the sides of the wheel arch. I can't remember what was original, but I used SS Polished carriage screws at all these locations with the heads inside and washers/nuts on the out side.---Fwiw--Keoke

Keoke, I can always count on seeing a reply from you, thanks. It seems there are some sort of metal screw housing, (don't know what there called)inserted in the wood. So I simply screw or bolt the correct size into it. The inside edge of the piece has been covered, hiding the insert. (see attached photo).
Now that brings up another question of what is correct. Are there suppose to be metal screw inserts in the wood, or is the wood drilled straight through, so a screw or in your case, carriage bolt is used.
If mine is correct, threading a screw or bolt into it, I'm back to my original question of philips head or nut head showing in the wheel well.
