Hi, I have my 67 restoration in full swing and I have been restoring the original nuts and bolts and fitting where possible.

These four in the picture below have been cleaned, blasted and blacked but they were in a bag with no label so I have no idea where they go.

They have a washer with small teeth so as to make them anti slip, I have all the door bolts so i am pretty sure its not that area. my head is saying possibly hood or hood hinges but I think I have these in a bag too.

Anyone know where these 4 go ?

Door hinges….5/18-18 with 1/2 hex head is my guess. I think the pilot on the end helps prevent cross threading in a manufacturing environment.
A real challenge to fix the plate those attach to if the threads are buggered.

I believe those with the "toothed" washers hold the seat brackets to the floor.

Its the way I'm leaning to be honest, its also helped out by the history of the car only coming with one seat bolted it, it had been used as a drag racer. so I think I only had 4 bolts, hence not having a bag of 8. I also bought seat bolts so may not have labelled these because I didn't need them. I started this 13 years ago so some stuff I will have forgotten !

Possibly, but, I did find all the door bolts and they were all there, and labelled so I am leaning on them being somewhere else, the washers are small too, not large and toothed.
