[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 158954, member: 302"] I think the chances of achieving a satisfactory result using a hand held pistol drill and a right angled attachment are minimal, some pistol drills do have a built in spirit level to assist you, but that would be useless when used whilst drilling upwards and at an angle and also using a right angled attachment, I would not attempt it, it is at the very least a pillar drill job with the steering stem removed. I have spoken with Bob, and he does not really feel confident or competent enough to remove the steering stem from the headstock and the forks, also he really does not enjoy using spanners on motorcycles, sadly as there is no easy fix, and Bob has lost confidence in the safety of his Vincent, I think it will in all probability find a new home, can anybody out there help Bob with this work, it would sure be sad to lose him from the fold for the sake of two holes and a tapped thread.
