Drilling holes in fiberglass???
I just received my CCC fiberglass fenders in the mail this week. :agree: My question is what is the best bit to use to drill out the fender mounting holes? CCC suggested a "dull drill bit". :confused: I was wondering about a step drill (like is used to drill holes in sheet metal) or a fine-tooth hole saw. I see quite a few fiberglass fenders around here. What did you guys use???

regular ole drill bit here.
|
Use a pilot drill then open it up and clean it up with a round file.
|
use some masking tape to help the drill get started. The use of an old/blunt drill bit is that a sharp one tends to grab the gel coat and it splinters and comes off in chunks. I found it noticably worse when I pre-drilled using a smaller diameter so in the end I just used the ful size drill from the start and was extra careful with positioning

Thanks for the advice, but which one? :confused: Guess I'll just have to try all three and see how it goes. Man, I hope I don't mess these up... :bawling:
