Hello, I've recently bought one of Pressbrakes (Clive, Black Sheep Offroad) x-members (6mm thick, pictures to follow), needless to say I'm chuffed to nuts with it!!!
The thing is I have an old military towing plate, it has two bolt holes (M16) on the front face (not the usual holes), and 3 (M6?) on the underside of the x-member. I was hoping to get it over to the smiddys today to get the holes drilled on his press, but couldn't make it, tomorrow is sunday, and I'm supposed to drop the x-member at the garage on Monday morning to fit it, so no time to drill the holes.
So my question is....Is it completely stupid to think that the holes could be drilled once the x-member is on? Obviously I would be laying on the floor, drilling up, sounds difficult. I have an SDS drill.
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this before I ask, just looking for a little hope!
Cheers
