Guys with the PP 52mm TB

I am in the middle of installing my new Professional Products 52mm TB.
The instructions says to reuse the original TPS screws, but the threaded holes in the new TB is way to small for the screws...

Anybody else had that problem?

Also, why didn't they make the bolt pattern for the top plate the same as the stock. Its just a tad different, PITA IMO.

ordered a LT1 model. Its comes with the throttle cable bracket for both types, so I do not think it matters.
