Anyone with a drill press?
If someone has a drill press and a 7/8 drill bit that we can use to cut into the plastic cover plate for my headlights I would really appriciate it.

Re: Anyone with a drill press?
I have a drill press but no 7/8 bit. I have a 7/8 paddle bit though.
Re: Anyone with a drill press?
Tape both sides of the plastic before drilling. This helps keep the plastic from cracking / chipping when you're drilling into it. Try to use a coring drill bit instead of a paddle bit as well. Just tips I picked up from the Cyclewerkz folks...

Re: Anyone with a drill press?
A cone bit or (Uni bit) would work. Don't forget to tape the area being drilled on both sides to prevent cracking.

Re: Anyone with a drill press?
Cyclewerkz did it for me and it took them like 2 whole minutes from the time I handed the plastic to them till they handed it back...... Let me just say CYCLEWERKZ FTW for anyone that didnt know. Scott and Dave are the MEN!!
