Fred...
You're probably going to need some 1.5mm spacers to take up the additional space between the t/r grips if the blades have a 5mm root. I have 105mm MAH blades on my XL, but the root is 8mm. On another XL, I have MS blades that have a 5mm root... there I use 1.5mm spacers on each side.

I will suggest also using some 1.5mm spacers on each side of the blades. Most of the tail blades I buy the spacers come with them. I know the SAB tail blades I buy have the spacers with them.
Be sure you check the weight on the tail blades before installation. You don't need them to weigh more than 5 grams each.
