Hi Lee

I have no experience of DRBs, but looking at your problem, if 10mm bolts are considered to be strong enough then as also mentioned, machine a small spacer to slot on the bolt and prevent it slopping about in a hole that would otherwise be too large. Obviously make sure the spacer is very slightly thinner than than the flange into which it is being inserted, so that the bolt clamps the correct parts when torqued up...

I must say though that for what they are doing, (holding bearing carrier'hub to upright) I would have preferred 12mm bolts to be sure...(i.e. 1/2" instead of 3/8")

best..
