Default Secured/unsecured throttle body.

You can see only 2 threaded brass bits were used to secure my throttle body. Should there be 4 of them and indeed would having only two be enough to cause a vacuum leak. Thanks

The picture you posted when enlarged shows that the seal was likely not leaking. That part in the picture was designed for 4 securing fasteners.
