im installing new clutch on my 91 fox body 5.0 mustang , was a basket case so i could be missing parts , the videos ive seen say i should have 3 dowels to position pressure pltet to flex plate , my flexplate only has threaded holes around perimeter  and dowels all seem to be like studs as opposed to threaded , are these dowels critical or can i just bolt these two together , its a valeo clutch , tremec tranny , any help? thanx , mikey

help?! i am assembling the clutch on my 5.0 engine to my tremec 5 speed , having never done this so i watched a couple videos and they both point out that there are dowels to position the pressure plate to the flywheel , the dowels are like studs and apparently slide into pressure plate , well my pressure plate has lots of holes on the perimeter and i can get three of the holes to line up with pressure plate holes but on my pressure plate the holes are threaded ??can i assemble without these dowels or are they critical , does someone make threaded dowels ? my local ford dealer couldnt find any dowels in their computer pics ?once again  iam here lookin for the answers , any help ?let me know , thanx , mikey oh yah it is a 1990 5.0 and aftermarket tremec 3550 tranny , a valeo stage 2 clutch ,thats it
