Mounting clips for aftermarket HU

Ok, I've searched high and low and can't seem to find an answer.
Trying to install a new HU in my '02 SE and wondered what other people were using instead of the metal brackets that were mounted on the factory radio?

I seem to be missing the threaded retainer clips to put screws in to hold the new HU mounting kit to the dash:

You can see the slots above and below where the original metal clips attached, but I don't see any way to attach those to my new mount. I would think if I could get those clips, I could just screw the new kit to the dash:

Any ideas??

Thanks in advance!!!

I'm not sure how everybody else did it. I just zip tied it in there honestly

I was thinking from past GM installs that they each had something like this:

It's called a 'U' Nut...

There is a special snap in retainer nut, not sure why yours are missing... but I'd be glad to sell you some ;)

you can also try the nylon nuts that are used for rear license plate holder, the white square ones that u can plug into the square holes and the put a screw into. you can buy those at autozone and they come in two diferent sizes. i had to do this before and it does work its just been a while so i forgot which sized one it was.
