Rear axle bearings

I have bought these bearings from Gemini Karts. They appear
pretty substantial and ideal for the job but I wondered if
anyone has experience of using these? The mounting holes are for
M16 bolts, hence I need an insert roughly 20mm outside diameter,
M16 inside diameter to act as inserts in the chassis rails. Is
this correct? Grateful for any views before I commit and start
drilling holes!

You could sleeve it and use smaller bolts

Pretty sure i have these exact ones, they've been fine for 2
years. My only problem is to remove the axle you've got to try
and get them off, which I imagine being a pain. My second
Cyclekart has the ones that bolt above or below so the axle can
be removed easily.

Thank you both. I've bought sleeves so that I can use M10 bolts.
