Van's supplies four 1/4-20 (gr. 8) bolts that are used to attach the FAB mount plate to the bottom of the carb.
Instructions say to use the locking tab washers or safety wire. I prefer the safety wire, which means that I need to drill the bolt heads.
As another option, can these be used? Acceptable?

They are fillister head 1/4-20 with drilled head.

Of course using flat washer & torqued accordingly.
...and on a slightly related note: I bought the Avery bolt head / nut drill jig and I am disappointed in the results. It just drills across a point and doesn't leave much meat. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.??
Thanks for any help.
