I bought a ported Gen 3 from someone, go to put it on today and realize it's been shaved off where one of the two bolts for the MAP Sensor go in and where the black bracket bar from the alternator goes in.
We got the MAP sensor to stay still with just one screw, no problem. The black bracket from the alternator will not thread into the s/c at all. The hole is too short. What should I do? Do I even need that black bracket thing?
Here are some pics of the bolt area I'm talking about:
Map Sensor bracket just chilling in mid air, and the threaded hole that's too short. It looks like this entire area has been shaved off.

So my question is do I need the black bracket coming from the alternator?? If so what should I do about my situation?
