Quick SSI to 3.2 mounting hardware question

SSI's each have a hole on the inner aspect of them where a bolt secures them to the front/middle part of the bottom of the engine.

This article ( Pelican Technical Article: Installing SSI Heat Exchangers on your 911 ) refers to these two bolts. "You’ll note that on both sides of the engine, towards the front on the bottom there is part of the engine that has a small bolt which has nothing attached to it. Take both bolts out. If you trial fit the heat exchanger, you’ll see that the bolt is there to help cinch down the heat exchanger to the engine."

Are these bolts in the 3.2? If they are not, what is the part number, and is drilling required?

thanks

They are not present, not required.

Cheers

Agree, but I drilled and tapped the boss anyway. Do not make it a through-bolt. YMMV.
