Joe---You can use the same size 5/16x24tpi like the originals. The tap
size for this does not reiquire driling out the holes any larger than
they are.
The 24 thread is not easily found, so going to a 24x18tpi will do.
(UGH)
New studs and nuts required, of course. The brake backing plate will
need to be removed to get the tap in.
Look for "manifold studs" in auto part stores as replacement studs.
