That's the way the intakes on all of the 510's I've had were fastened,
from the factory, AFAIK. And yes, it's much easier to swap intakes with
the fasteners set up that way. Interestingly, the two import heads that I
bought from Parts, International in Torrance in the early '80s both had
studs in all of the holes. Strange, but true.
