[DeTomaso] Lower bellhousing to ZF bolts/studs ?????

[B Hower]

I believe those were OEM 10x40 bolts not studs. Mine had none when I had my ZF out the first time. I believe I ordered 2 in March of 2010 from Dennis @ 1.65 each. 
Three nuts may hold a wheel on the car,.........but I prefer to use 5 as designed. JMHO Bud #3400 ( Drive it like there is no tomorrow -- for there may not be ! )

I'm looking at my ZF and I'm seeing two M10x1.5 studs, nuts and washers
securing my two lower ZF to Bellhousing holes.  I'm hoping this forum can
refresh my memory because the nuts are 17mm hex nuts that were custom ground
down to a 6mm thin-pattern thickness (by yours truly) to provide maximum
clearance for my 10.5" Centerforce clutch.  There are no withness marks on
the clutch housing so obviously these fasteners are not getting in the way.
Is my memory correct that DeTomaso never installed fasteners in these holes?
I belive I added them years ago for added strength.  What have others seen
in their bellhousings?
