MG MGA - strange studs

On my MGA 1600 I have two studs sticking out of the crankcase on the front left side of the engine just behind the 1600 mark. Is there supposed to be something attached to these?

Are you talking about the two studs that hold the the mechanical fuel pump blanking plate?

On mine two special clips attach at these points: the front one holds the two carburettor float bowl overflow pipes and the rear one holds the crankcase breather tube. ..............................Mike

+1 with Mike. A 1600 does not use a blanking plate since a 1600 was only used in a MG,so it was never machined for a fuel pump. Don't know about a 1622 though--

Think Mike Moore has the answer. Because I have a Xflow head my carbs are on the right of the engine so those studs are redundant. Maybe I can think of something useful to attatch to them. Thanks guys.
