Those bolts are a mystery; AFAIK no one has ever found anything that was
bolted there.  One legend says they were for mounting the chassis of a
remote-control full-size tube radio, but (again AFAIK) no one has come up
with an example of the radio.  But since there is also a cutout in the kick
panel for a speaker that was apparently never used either, it seems at least
plausible that the bolts were for a radio.
