So I got the spacers and the hardware from an outback, went in to install today, and of course the bolts from the outback are like twice as thick as the GL ones. Anybody see any reason I shouldn't drill out the holes to fit the outback bolts? I'd rather not have to make a parts run and spend more money..

 

I would just drill out the holes.

That's what I ended up doing. looking down into the holes it appears they might be reinforced, but they aren't really.

Yep, gonna be fine.
Just don't torque down to much.You can crush the "frame".
cheers
