Egt hole size
There are several different egt probe sizes, the most common are in the 1/8" range. I would suggest getting a good new bit to drill the holes and use cutting fluid on each hole. Be sure to use the slow speed setting on your drill, otherwise you are likely to work harden the metal. Last but not least, BE SURE that your egt probe will be in a location that won't interfere with the cowling, we have welded literally hundreds of holes shut that were in the wrong place!
