Need help from the metal workers....
I am trying to drill a 3/8" hole in the seat bracket on my CC1282. I got a new seat and the holes don't line up of course. The bracket is like a leaf spring, very springy. No drill bits that I have will do it, not even titanium. What do I need to buy to drill these holes?

Ken,
1. Start with a small drill first.
2. Use as much pressure on the bit as you can manage so the bit keeps cutting instead of skidding.
3. Use a slow speed.
4. Use plenty of cutting oil.

Ken,
You might try Drill bits made of Cobalt. They aren't as brittle as carbide. And I think that they are less expensive.
Also, use George's procedure. That should get the job done!
Good Luck,
Brian
