Vans instructions make it sounds so simple: Slide gear leg into the mount and align the hole. Match drill the leg to the mount.
I finally slide the right leg into its mount enough to align the hole. I brought a 5/16 cobalt drill bit, used a lot of cutting oil. 1 hour later, I have a slightly enlarged hole about 1/2 way in on one side, and an elongated hole about 1/4 way in on the other side. I then stopped, and admitted defeat.
I will take the left leg and mount to my friendly local machine shop to match drill. But, can I salvage my right leg and mount by drilling them for an AN6 bolt, or should I order a new right mount and right leg?
Thanks in advance,
