Edit Reason: second thought!

My 1932 AG tourer (SWB chassis with steel "chummy" body) has side curtains that slot into the alloy rail that runs along the top of the doors & rear tub. the pegs of the curtain drop into the holes and into a bracket let into the wood. This bracket is tapped 1/4 BSF presumably to take a winged bolt (??) that is tightened against the peg to stop the curtain rattling or popping out.
Question is what do these retaining 1/BSF bolts look like & what do the holes in the trim panels look like? Is there an eyelet of some sort?
I have not seen anything (not even on a £38000 Chummy), maybe earlier bodies allowed the curtains to rattle!
I can post pictures of the bracket if necessary.
The quite useable trim on my car is 1960's vintage & has no holes/eyelet or whatever. How should it be fitted to the door frame etc? I am rebuilding the car to how it would have probably been in Hong Kong in the early 70's.
