Default Door panel screws

Can someone please post a photo of a door panel showing the locations for the screws attaching it, I think there is one screw in each corner?

Thank you,
Rich

Can you elaborate as to what year you're talking about? later C3's have a completely different door panel than early ones.

1968 through 1977 have bright finish screws with beveled rings under the head. These screws snug the door panel to the door - I believe there are 4 screws, one at each corner of door panel.
I don’t know how else I can describe screws used to install door panels on these Corvettes. New door panels do not come pre-drilled for installing, so I’d like to get it right.

1977 used two screws. One near the hinge, one near the striker.

correction: the repro use two screws. I can’t remember what the originals used.
