drilling holes
Hi guys , just a quick question on how to drill holes in those awkward places around the chassis? I have looked into the price of a right angled
drill and these are very expensive for the sake of a handfull of holes! Any suggestions appreciated.

why not drill them before you weld it in place?! if its too late for that and a normal drill wont reach it, and the hole is essential, i guess you
will have to get a right angle bit!

You get right angle adapters from EBay or machinemart for a tenner. Someones used a dremal for the smaller hole or a flexi chuck (difficult)
Tool linky here
Quality is ok 4 what we use it for and I recon with carefull use I will get a few builds out of it

Yeah - I've got one of those, from one of the shows, £9.50 Grinds a bit from the gears (must strip it & lube it some time) but absolutely
ace for awkward places. Only 10mm chuck though.

If you are talking about small holes to hold the likes of 'p'clips etc then I would consider drilling right through the chassis member and
closing the redundant hole with a blob of weld and grinding flat.

If its just for P clips, a good sharp punch and a medium ballpein
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

If you do the tunnel before you put the battery shelf on there aren't many places you will struggle to reach. I found that I could drill at a
slight angle with my rechargeable drill for any slightly awkward holes. The rivet heads pull flat when the stems break.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
