Hi Guys,
Have you got any tips for drilling an old elevator centre bearing hinge bracket assembly to a new HS rear spar? The holes in the steel bracket are already 3/16", one of the new spar holes is reamed to 3/16" so I can slide a bolt in there to hold things steady, but the other 3x holes (drilled up to approx .150) are misaligned. I don't think a drill bushing will work as it would have to be very thin. Maybe clamp in the drill press? I can easily order new brackets for $15 and drill them to the spar, but I enjoy a challenge, and I'm always keen to learn new tips.
Cheers!
