Using slightly smaller bolts leaves more spindle material for you.

So will I need to drill and tap for 2 different sizes. I don't know much about threads and all. I have Ed's LS1 swap bracket and already cut my spindles.

Top
7/16-20 (tap), 25/64 (clearance drill)

Bottom
M10 x 1.5mm (tap), 8.5mm (clearance drill)
