Question on DSM Manny

[slowhonda]

What size drill bits did you guys use to enlarge the hole? 5/16 looked too small, but 3/8 looked to big! Any help would be appreciated!

i used a die grinder with a carbide cutter and enlarged as neccisary

Unless your using a drill press, don't drill it....it's so easy to slip and get a body part.

Even so, I used an angle grinder on the end one and then filed with a sharp round file! It took a little elbow grease but still a cinch!

i use a dremel

[slowhonda]

I never thought about using a dremel. A mechanic I work with has one that I can use. What accessory did you use to do it with?

A carbide cutting bit..

It takes a loooooong time. if you can do it by any other means i would highly suggest leaving the dremel as a last resort

Does it matter if I get the holes too big? Would that cause an exhaust leak?

[westsideaccord]

Well all depends on how big, but you could use some washers to help secure the castle nuts!

You know how big you have to grind the hole to get a leak? Get a f22a gasket and mark the holes...just don't go any bigger.
