johnc Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 A drill press and a $25 11mm chucking reamer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 thanks for your response john, but i would rather hear from people that have actual experience in the matter... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeoster Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Better idea to put what you got on eBay or something and buying what you need. A lot of companies are making fuel rails now so they arnt too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 i can drill it here for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DREW RBZ Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I drilled mine pretty much as JohnC says...no problem at all. You need to make sure to polish out any small scratches or the o-ring will not seal properly. Fuel has a way of finding its way past the smallest scratches and nicks. Give er!

ZT-R Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) john if you use a reamer, probably a straight reamer, would you have to polish it afterword? i guess a drimmel polisher would get in there Edited January 30, 2011 by ZT-R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 john if you use a reamer, probably a straight reamer, would you have to polish it afterword? i guess a drimmel polisher would get in there That or some 400 to 1,000 grit sandpaper on your little finger.
