hole size for 7/16th suspension bolts
Discussion
I think you will find it almost impossible to get a drill into most of the positions.
Even if you could I don't think it is advisable. You want to maintain the hole as tight a fit as possible to your new bolts so the best method is as large a round file as will fit and gently clear each hole, or pair of holes, by hand until the bolt just fits.

As recommended above. Don't waste all that time and money on galvanised and powdercoat only to chip it off with a drill bit. Nice and slowly with a round file, then finish the edges of the hole with some emery paper to remove any burrs. Better still rub down the area where the washer will sit as the powdercoat will crack underneath anyway and lightly smear some copper slip-on there.Even if you could I don't think it is advisable.
