Rewooding 1924, Pillar attachment.

Hopping someone can answer a question for me. I'm rewooding my 1924 cutoff Touring. Can someone possibly tell me how the original metal side skin, wood upright pillars were attached to the sills? I'm assuming it may have been wood screws. How many? 1?, 2?, 5? Any particular pattern?
I have no reference on this so hoping someone that has rewooded a car can tell me.
Thanks! Merry Christmas!

Two #12 wood screws in a diagonal pattern attach the pillars. The pillars also have additional fasteners for the front seat heal panel bracket and for the frame bracket attachments and these are all countersunk. The metal skin nails to the underside of the sill.
Merry Christmas to you too!

two wood screws...in this picture, one is installed and the other hole is there with countersink. They go into the spacer block behind them. This block stiffens the upper/lower body contour wood to the sill and provides lots of meat for the pillar to seat against.
likely similar to your situation
