SNB F19: drilling holes for bolts

Postby SP1 » Tue Aug 18, 2020 8:21 pm

Hello
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to drill the bolt holes? Especially the forward most? I’m trying to figure out a way to get a drill in that space, but it’s pretty tight in either direction. Do you basically have to bend SNB F26-07 out of the way? Thanks very much. Picture attached

I think I got some of the holes drilled like you have there, then removed the big former and drilled it from above with a long sorta flexible bit. Maybe I did flex the little piece out of the way slightly like you said!

Thanks Chris. I forgot about those long bits. I also have those flexible drill shafts from Amazon that could do the job as well.
