There should be a metal plate with 2 threaded holes that floats (like a 
rectangular captive nut with 2 holes) behind the holes in the body 
work.  I believe the correct bolts will have pointed ends that make it 
much easier to get them started.  These may be the same as the bolts 
used for the door hinges.

I have attached a copy of the diagram that came with my top (Amco?) back 
when and shows the recommended spacing for the sticks when attaching the 
webbing.  Use this as a guide rather than Gospel.  Temporary spacing can 
be achieved by using small diameter nylon rope tied to the centerline of 
each stick to see what spacing is best for your top.
