These are to allow you to reinsert the fork mounting bolts back into the OTA, after you defork a C8. This way the holes are blocked, preventing insects/dust into the OTA. Also, if you screw in the original bolts back in all the way, it will prevent the telescope from properly focusing as it will block the focusing plate from going further back. This also means you less likely to lose the screws as they are inserted back into the OTA.
This was from a late 90's Celestar Deluxe, so newer and OTA's may vary. I don't have the actual screw type, but the threaded section is about 4.75mm wide by ~15.5mm.
