No PN. Dashboard brace? Fuel injection control module brace? Convertible top doodads?
How about this one?

Speed square! Carpenter’s a little bit different. But both do the same things. I personally like the speed square better!

Aftermarket radio support strap. Usually connected to a threaded stud on the back of a radio to stop it bouncing around in the radio fascia and then up to horizontal section inside trunk.

Just a hunch, but I'd guess this is a rivet, possibly for the convertible top mechanism.

No A/C. I'm leaning toward radio strap. What stumped me is it's painted black and looks original. It has yellow paint on it from the previous repaint 25 years ago.
