Default Intake guide pins/dowels

I have a 96 ram 1500 5.2 automatic 4wd I currently have had to replace the head gaskets on it. I purchased the fel-pro kit. I'm to the point of installing the intake and noticed the 4 plastic locator dowels do not come in the kit the old ones are disentagrated any ideas on how to locate some without haveING to contact a steelership

In my experience installing the intake, the gaskets will stay in-place while the intake is installed. The plastic locator dowels really aren't needed.

I cut the heads off of a couple of the old intake bolts, and used those.
