Specialty Fasteneres for custom Mahogany Dash "pad" please advise

[darkone]

hey all. with a good bit of elbow grease ive made myself a dash pad from a mahogany glu lam i pressed about 6 months alo. is been varnished with marine quality UV protectant about 10 times or so, and wetsanded to perfection

on to the qustion:

If youre familiar with the dash pad on our trucks, you know that there are several threaded "pegs" that run from the top thru the dash to secure the dash pad. There are also 2 pegs (one on either side) which run front to back. these 2 i have enough depth to burry a small anchor in, but, the ones running from top down, i dont. I wouldnt feel comfortable playing with more than 1/8" as far as tapping. so im wondering what my other options are. maybe there are some specialty fasteneres of sorts, or super magnets, or a glue technique that could be recommended. anyway, any help would be much appreciated. thanks in advance for the help!
