I’d like to say I’m enjoying this but Jeez it’s bloody horrible! :eek :eek
As Mike suggested I swapped the drill round and it does go in, it definitely tidied up the holes but I’m not sure what it would be like if it was wrong.
I’ve done another two holes and still can’t feel when I’m breaking through.
I just keep stopping and checking to see where I am, then take a view on whether I’ve gone far enough.
I’ve increased the amount of drill poking out of the vice by a couple of mm and that seems to help both in angle and being able to see what I’m doing.
Of course because you’re not going in vertical the holes tapered and it seems much bigger than it actually is (I hope).
I’ll do the other two carbs tomorrow after my poor old heart recovers.
