Are these holes tapped and threaded or just drilled? I'd
assume that they must be threaded or else I don't understand
what this fix does.

So, both the inner and the outer flange of the hub are threaded?
Isn't there a problem getting good quality bolts with that much
thread, then? As I recall, grade 8 and AN bolts only have about
an inch of thread, then the rest is shouldered. I think I'm still
missing something.
