They are just billet finishing washers with a taper head ss Allen head. I have used them on my last 2 builds. They especially work great on trucks for the inside of the bed where the fenders bolt on. They help distribute the tension. I picked them up on Ebay pre-covid. They are expensive now. You can see bigger ones in my engine compartment as well.
On Suburban's there were already threaded 10-32 insets from the factory to attached the interior panels. It did drill those out and taped them to expect 1/4-20 bolts. I could not find the billet washers for a 10-32 bolt. If the factory inserts were not there I would have just used 1/4-20 nut-serts.

Thanks Jim. I should be able to get them covered in foam and material this weekend. Then it's reassembly time.
