Default motor mounts

What do you guys use to drill new holes for motor mounts in the stingers. It seems my drill is to big and my dremel is to big?

You need to buy the right angle attachment for your dremel.

Nevermind I looked it up on dremel.com and found the attachment you were talking about and then found it at my local Home Depot. Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

I got mine at Sears. Dremel has an egg/teardropped shaped bit that works well for making the hole. They used to have an oversized (over 1/8") drill set but I haven't seen it in a long time.

I use a modified drill bit. Shortened to about 1.5" and re-sharpened in my DrillDoctor. Works perfectly when used with my 90 degree drill.

My method, although a bit "sheddy", is to use a small metal TEK screw in a small socket ratchet driver, and apply pressure whilst turning, this may sound a bit rough, but it works fine when you live outback and the mod cons are hard to get hold of..just my 2 cents worth..thanks Scoot

Thanks for the ideas I think I'll get the right angle attachement for my dremel. Thanks for the help.
