What bolts or screws are used to attach the blade style tail lamp bracket to the body on a 1911 touring? Thanks, Art

I believe they are carriage bolts with square nuts. I have attached photos of my early 1912 Touring which should be the same as the 1911 touring.

The original tail light bracket on my 12 has square hoses and the carriage bolt with the square goes from the outside and the square nuts are on the back side out of sight the repro brackets have a round hole.

A picture of an "11 I used to have. The square nuts were on the outside. I don't know if this is factory correct or not.

The 1913-14 roadster brackets are the same. The carriage bolts are a special Ford design. I had to use step bolts for mine, and I couldn't find originals that were for sale. You can't see them anyway, but I like original parts.
