Do these thread into the carb with a nut and washer on the end and what thread would they be? A search suggests they're the same as differential housing?

or drill the threads out of the carb and tap the plenum(m10 iirc).....then you can bolt the plenum on from the carb side making it a doddle to fit.

Here's an alternative solution I came across whilst trying to find some bolts for the modified air in take on the MG.
