Default Need Help!!

okay, I bought a New LS6 intake from a guy off the boards. Just installed it, and when I got to putting on the TB bracket that bolts into the side of the intake manifold, I noticed there are no threads to put the bolts in. The bracket is holded by two bolts, but I have no way to put them in now. The Dealership doesn't provide these inserts either. Just the screws, intake, and TB plate.

What should I do?? I got this far, and now I'm stuck with this...

Help me guys!

Go with the good old bolt and nut setup. Find your self some bolts that are long enought to go all the way through and tie it with nuts on the other side. Might not look good but its worth a shot.
