The t/c bolts are all 8x1.25 bolts that are equal length. They also have uniqe heads that are shorter than most for clearance reasons. Get the right bolts.

I had to drill mine too. It was a major PITA, but I really didn't see any alternatives. Took me a couple of hours to do it, cause the studs are really really hard.

I agree with Tom for the TC bolts. Get the right ones.
