Use the thread replacement of your choice .

It is the same size as the thermostat housing M8x 1.25

A good size for these vehicles.

Good Luck

You want to make sure to use the proper size drill bit.

Sometimes the kits come with them some times they don`t.

only drill as deep as you need to .

make sure to use the correct length bolt.

take your time you will be ok

Never seize on any bolts going in aluminum
