How are you drilling the backside of the brake bridge? That's the part I've never been able to figure out. You can drill it all the way through and then use a shoulder washer: http://os2.dhs.org/~john/washer.jpg -- John ) |

If your problem is figuring out the depth to drill, then use drill bit collars. http://www.woodcraft.com/images/products/142562.jpg No, I'm talking about how you access the backside with a drill, since there's so little clearance. Probably some special right-angle drill? Adapters are more common than you may think. http://images1.toolup.com/imdir/prod...49-22-8510.jpg |

"Paul M. Hobson" wrote in message drilled out many a fork and brake bridge. Pretty quick job. Just slowly increased in bit size incrementally. I'll be easier in the long run, IMO.

It was on a round brake bridge where I used those large curved washers from an old 600 brakeset. Worked fine, even though the hole was "too large" on the top side. Probably a bad idea for longevity, as the bridge wasn't reinforced, but I sold that liability. ;-) |

You can get short shaft drill bits for cordless drills. |
