I chucked those studs into the hedge a long time ago. I guess the thinking was that they provide good location for the engine, whether or not the nuts are done up, obviating little dramas like the fan touching the radiator core etc. etc. Personally I never do any of the mounting bolts up tight, as the inevitable twist of the chassis is then fed directly into the crankcase.
