It is possible instead of studs they actually had small nubs that went thru the holes and was then peened over -- sort of like a rivet.

Probably no easy way to add studs or screws because there is no room for a blind threaded hole in the thin casting.

Do the gauges and other items that go thru the casting have something in their mounting that would add some pressure to the casting and help keep it in place? If so I wonder if a high strength double sided trim or emblem tape such as used on modern cars could be placed on the back of the casting to stick the sides to the center panel without being so thick it would hold the casting noticeably away from the panel.
