The microfilm shows those rear screws to be self tapping (sheet 
metal) screws, not machine screws. That's also what I have with a set 
of fasty popout latches that I have here, so I don't think there's 
any need to replace the C pillar.

As far as the B pillar, "hinge" end goes, I don't remember what goes 
on there in the fasty, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't need as much 
modification as on a square or notch. Just make sure you have all the 
parts you need to anchor that end. ISTR that there are a few small 
bits in there that can tend to be overlooked or lost, but I've only 
been in there, on a fasty, once, and that was a long time ago.
