Firstly, several of the bolt holes do not line up.

I might can get a small one in through the lower middle right, but I don't order a bolt for that. I skimmed through both Tom and Hucks (heh) guides but I didnt see any mention of this issue.

The two bolts that go through the starter are also giving me issues. The bottom of the two has no hole on the SVX block, so I cannot get a bolt in there. The top one that has a hole through the block wont work with either bolt I have, but the main issue is the bottom one. Am I the only one having this problem? Or what did you do to solve this?
^What?

and one word, helicoil... it's been gone over plenty of times with the newer 5/6MT's
