The Duck Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 If i was you tom, i'd drill through from the tyre side with a 20mm drill bit. you won't go far wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyfey Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Surely you'd need some kind of drill press and a jig. It'd be very hard to get the holes centred over the Hedgehogs by hand I would have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Cox Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 the internal holes (double wall rim) are circular no? just place a drillbit in the hole (same size as hole) and drill through..Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Yep, and I can vouch that they definitely work as I drilled out my old rim with one and it did a really good professional looking job. Also didn't get that slight triangulating of the whole you always get with a large drill bit in aluminium. Definitely a nicer neater way of doing it than just a big drill bit.
