Are these fasteners still available somewhere? They are the screws that hold the convertible top down, but are normally hidden by the trunk lid.

I think I have some that are similar but use a 9/32" rather than phillips that I took off my parts car when I had it.

Even if none of the restoration sites have them, that's just a self-tapper machine screw. You can find a replacement easily on McMaster-Carr. Could even get one with a torx head instead of a crappy phillips.

Yeah I dug through my spares bins and found a close match and a washer and with a little cold bluing solution and my blow torch got a pretty close match. I just prefer to use OEM hardware if I can.
