This is true only if some previous owner has lost the proper parts.  
There are supposed to be studs, and the outer part (that holds the
nut) is supposed to be fine-threaded.  I cannot say anything about
the inner part, since I have never unscrewed my studs from the manifold.
But I would not be surprised if they were coarse-threaded.

The official part number is 105745. It might be worth a call to TRF to
see if they have any.  they are listed in their price list, but that
does not mean a whole lot...

With the proper studs instead of bolts, the carbs would be much easier to 
install.
