Keensert or tap it to 7/16 fine and drill the manifold/header flange to allow them through.

Drill and tap to 7/16's would giev you the best more long term fix.

This....There's nothing more frustrating than going in to repair something, and finding something not what it's supposed to be, then trying to figure out what was used in place of the original....not a big deal if you own the rig for a long time, and do your own work, AND remember what you did to repair it last time!:haha:
