[Spridgets] Drilling a hole in the bodywork...

[Bill Gilroy]

Dave,

Start with small drill (1/16") as a pilot and then move up one size.  I
piece of masking tape should help.  If you can back it with a piece of wood
that would be great.  I have an assortment of grommets that that can go into
the final hole, let me know the size if you want one.
