If the bolt he wants/needs to use fits through the hole in the carb--it must if
you have to put a nut on it--making the hole bigger with a tap won't help much.
I don't trust putting steel bolts into aluminium anyway; I'm going to be
putting helicoils into the mounting bosses for my clutch slave cyl while the
engine/gearbox is out.

Lin,
On my BJ7, I simply ran a tap thru the hole to create threads in the body. I
measured the original hole size with a drill until I found one that would not
pass thru. One fraction size larger worked for me. Then I used 2 bolts on each
carb that matched the tap size.
Keep it simple.

I think it would depend entirely on the size of bolt you would use. Note the
coil kits usually don't come with the drill bit you need to oversize the holes
before tapping for the coil, and it's usually some oddball 64ths size.
FWIW, it sounds like a good idea as I have K&N filters on my BJ8, and they are
indeed a PITA to install (unfortunately, I'd still have to deal with the stupid
little acorn nuts on the outer side of the filters).
