1970 cutlass dash mounting HELP!

I am ready to install the dash back on the car. There are about 8 to 10 studs that go into the metal dash . I lost the mounting nuts. I tried using 8-32 but wont start onto the studs. The threads look ok . Does anyone know if these were supposed to be speed nuts or what?

Speed nuts (aka "stamped nuts") were used there.....8 - 32 size.

If you can't find any speed/stamped nuts that work just let me know and I can send some to you. I probably have plenty around here.
