Need to drill out bolt holes on pentas

Post by pat_6_4 »

Hi

Bought some pentas but the bolt holes are too small.

Is it an easy job to drill them out bigger? Only needs a slight expansion.

Any advice given greatly received

cheers

dont think anyone will put there name to a definate answer for liability issues

but i will confirm it has been done many times, using the correct size drill.

do you have access to a large pillar drill to keep everything exactly square? The slightest bit wrong will end up in bad times!!!
