All smog-legal aftermarket heads, including Trick Flows, come with factory-style Thermactor air-injection holes in the front and rear of each head.
The alternator bolt mounts in one of the Thermactor holes. Assuming you don't have the Thermactor air injection setup installed, you need to plug the holes on each side of each head. The Trick Flows in particular only come with two plugs, which only covers two of the four holes. This means you need two more plugs. Once all of the plugs are installed, you'll (most likely) have the right size threads for all of the original accessories.

It's not really a big deal, just a couple plugs to install. I'm just kinda irritated the heads only came with two plugs. They're readily available, but you'd think they could send you four instead of two...

Thanks for all the info, so i need plugs wich i mount at the front and rear off the head and in those plugs is the correct thread to mount the alternator ?
Didnt get any plugs with the heads, bought them on ebay. Anywhere i can buy those plugs ?
Mailed Glazier's but didnt hear anything yet.
Hope to find some soon, want to get the car back on the road
Did a search about the Thermactor plugs and i understand now what i need.
Looked on ebay, only one who has them (from TFS) is summit and they dont ship outside the US .
Is there someone who have four of these plugs and can send them to me (i pay for them offcourse). Found a company but the wanted 128 dollar shipping costs
So me and my father went to a local garage for cranes and diggers, they also work on bobcats, we figured they most have the right size bolts.
After looking in the part catalog we found out that the bolts from the cabine are the right size to plug the holes on the rear of the head.
The also had hardware to make thread (dont know the english word for it). So the front two bolts we cut the head off, drilled a hole in the center and made thread in it.
So now the rear of the head is plugged and the front also and have thread in it so we could mount the alternator and the bracket for the supercharger
