DanH Legacy Member Mentor Mar 28, 2022 #3 A fixture is very nice, but it can be done easy enough with a portable vice, good prick and center punches, and a drill press. Drilled a whole lot of metric bolts for motorcycles back in the 80's. Drilled these socket heads just last week. . Attachments IMG_20220326_101437340.jpg 110.1 KB · Views: 464
