Can anyone describe the type of nuts that are mounted on the console for the thumb screws with the red arrows. They are missing on this console. The bottom fastener with the blue arrow is still intact. It is a floating nut in a sheetmetal retainer that is riveted in place. There are no rivet holes at two top holes. The car is a 72 Pre-L. Thank you.

Thanks Larry
The bottom fastener is definitely a cage nut. Now I know the correct terminology for it.
The top two fasteners seem to be something different. I can probably get cage nuts on there but I was hoping duplicate what the factory had in place.
Yes, that is helpful. I will look at it from that perspective. Thank you.
Larry, thanks for jogging my memory. I vaguely recall seeing that arrangement in a prior life. I will not be duplicating it and will improvise something more practical.
Oh my gosh. I just looked on the dashboard and both mounts in your photo are in place and healthy. Problem solved. Thank you.
