Default Need LS6 Intake help ASAP

We added a 01 or 02 ls6 intake (no EGR) to my 99 T/A. Well there's two bolt holes on the passenger side, right before were the TB meets the intake. The two bolt holes are for the TB linkage.

The problem is the two bolt holes do not have thread inserts in them. So now what the hell do I do?
Can I get the thread inserts someplace?
Should I break the inserts out of my old intake and try to put them on the new intake? If so, how would I install them without cracking the new intake?

Thanks
Jay

Contact a company called E-ZLok. (800)234-5613 or www.ezlok.com. You want a part #240-M6 insert. Tell them you are interested in buying a bunch of them, but first you want to see some samples <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
They do offer free samples so you should get what you need without much if any cost.
Good luck,
Richard
