Default people with volant intakes

i bought a used volant intake but i think it may be missing some pieces. Can anyone tell me what the intake consist of. i think its missing something where the tube goes into the box, where the 3 small bolts go. i tighten the bolts tight but there is too much play and the small bolts go staight through the holes. Am i just not putting it together correct, or am i missing something.

Where did you buy your intake? I bought mine off of jegs. Hes right three screw connect your maf then theres the gasket whick buts up against the intake box then on the other side another gasket which hooks up to the plenum. Kind of sucks using allen keys though. Its pretty easy besides that.
