I've got one John but you're a long way away from me!
If you cant get one I'll send it to you, or they sell em in machine mart, ask for Blacksmiths' drills.
Cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Now I know why they make 50 pence pieces the shape they are Conrod......So they can get em out of your hands with a set of 36" Stillsons.

the metal is 3 mm thick and life is so short so a drill is really the only way

A hole saw will easily cut through 3mm steel - I do it all the time at work 
Just go half way through from each side - or drill a small (3mm ?) hole at one edge of the `circle` - thats what I do when cutting holes in 12mm ally
Its cuz I is blond , innit

Exactly. Well said it should take about 2 minutes. I've cut 2 inch holesaw holes through a 12mm folded steel ( cold work hardened etc )drawbar
hitch on ERF's before ( Not in 2 mins though)
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

Once you've got a 13mm hole, taking it to 15mm with a round or half-round file really is about 5minutes work!
