Default Holley 4160 questions

I've got a Holley 4160 that came with an engine I just acquired. I was rebuilding it and noted that it doesn't have a secondary metering plate. Whoever rebuilt it before just put the metering body right on the gasket (no plate or plate gasket). Will this be a problem, and if so, where would I get a new one?
Also, does anyone know what thread size the fuel bowl bolts are?

In case you haven't gotten a PM or E-mail from someone else, if you are missing parts, such as the metering plate, no, it won't work. These can be obtained from Summit or Jegs. Good luck!
