Default Stock TB won't bolt onto FAST 78mm

horist and I just finished up swapping a FAST 78mm into my car, but the holes for the TB on the intake are too big for the stock TB bolts. The LS6 intake has threaded inserts where the TB bolts on, but the FAST does not. What do I need to do to make this work? Does FAST make an adapter kit or something?

Longer bolts with nuts if it still has the same bolt pattern! I used some out of the intake kit with my 90/90 setup!

You can purchase the Hardware Kit alone for the Fast intakes - around $23. All the Fast intakes use thru bolts with nuts to attach TB - you would think for the $$ that they could have installed some brass threaded inserts - guess that would have really cut into their 'bottom line'

Tony @ AFR is going to port my Fast90 - one of the additional things he does is to add the threaded inserts for the TB.
