The description of filling the bolt holes is in the post you quoted, but I'll expand on it here:
To close up the stock bolt holes with their 3.5" spacing, I first drilled them out to a larger 1/2" diameter. This allowed me to use a tap to thread the holes for a 5/8" threaded rod. I threaded in a 5/8" aluminum rod and secured them with red Loctite and ground them down flush. I was then ready to drill the new bolt holes with a 3.0" spacing. You will notice that the new bolt holes overlay the old filled holes. So even if the red Loctite does not hold the threaded inserts in place, they cannot back out as the bolts going through the new holes and holding the caliper in place will prevent the threaded inserts from rotating and backing out.
I hope this answers your question.
