Thanks A., very kind of you ;)
Drilling the lug holes is the worst bit for me, I often end up snapping a drill bit and getting it stuck on the last hole, I have developed a good method for getting them out now tho [emoji16]

Usually I use a small diamond file to open up the hole a bit,then I drill with a 1mm drill bit, then I file the hole with a 1mm file ,then drill with the 1.3mm drill bit
