The holes you are seeing are where the barb was for the vacuum lines when sync tools is being used to balance the carbs. Small brass tubes that stick out of each boot and point up and to the outside for easy access, positioned at the 10-11:00 o'clock position.

New boots don't come with the metal shields so take care of them they maybe re-usable depending on the new boots you find.

Someone must have pulled out the brass tubes.

Look at a place like Babbitt's Yamaha for a parts diagram under Intake 1978 model for reference.

Not sure where you get parts in Aussy Land.

Good luck mate.
